Trivia
This film is not a reality-based representation of Theresienstadt under Nazi rule in WWII. It is a state-financed propaganda film, that the Nazis wanted to use to deceive the international public about the fate of the Jews. Actually, the term 'documentary' was introduced by the Nazis themselves, as part of the deception strategy. In the same way Theresienstadt was called a "Ghetto", but in fact it was a concentration camp and a transit camp to the extermination camps. The film is completely staged and was supervised and controlled by the Nazis, therefore it is difficult to name a single person as the 'director' in this context.
