Brutal Nazi Torture of Jewish Boy & His Revenge - Nazi Berlin & Theresienstadt - Zvi Cohen - Part 2

One of the Theresienstadt’s prisoners becomes a German boy who arrives in the camp on 19 May 1943, two days before his 12th birthday. His name is Horst Cohn. Though the Cohn family and other Jews thought that it was a place from which they would return after the war, Theresienstadt served mainly as a transit camp for Jews on route to extermination camps. It was also presented by the Nazis as a “model Jewish settlement” for propaganda purposes.
Deportees to the ghetto had to surrender all possessions except for 50 kilograms (110 lb) of luggage, which they had to carry with them from the railway end station at Bohušovice, 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) away. The walk was difficult, especially for the elderly and ill Jews. After reaching the ghetto, the prisoners were registered.
The first sentence they heard was: “anyone who has valuables and does not hand them over will be punished”. To humiliate the new-arrivals, men, women, children and elderly people - were asked to strip down naked. They were then separated and distributed to the men’s and women’s barracks.
