Ghetto Terezin is an uncompromising re-creation of concentration camp life in wartime Czechoslovakia. The story concentrates on one unfortunately Jewish family: father (Victor Ocasek), mother (Z. Baldova) and daughter Hanna (Blanka Waleska). Though the daughter is able to escape the fate of other Czech Jews by marrying an Aryan (O. Krejka), her parents are not so fortunate. Many of the more poignant and horrifying setpieces in Ghetto Terezin were later restaged in the landmark TV miniseries Holocaust. The grim events depicted in the film are complemented by a melancholy, jazzlike musical score.
