Description: While researching the times of intolerance, I arrived in Terezin (Prague, Czech Republic) in 2008, where I understood how art is produced under conditions of humiliation and brutality. It was there that I also learned that evil does not inhibit art and how children, innocent victims of an ideology that propagates prejudice and racism, also produced it, regardless of no family, no affection, hunger, and mistreatment. Their art expressed the new world in which they were inserted, in which there were no laws of the previous world, and a new structure of human coexistence was introduced. In this world, children, simply because they were born Jewish, should never have known the word HOLOCAUST. This work intends to present the different art forms produced in the Terezin camp, which, after the Nazis had dominated this region, came to be known as Theresienstadt concentration camp. Fifteen thousand children under the age of fifteen passed through the Terezin Concentration Camp. Fewer than 100 survived. In these poetry and pictures drawn by the young inmates, we see the daily misery of these uprooted children, as well as their hopes and fears, their courage and optimism
