 Germany s Ministry of Propaganda produced this 1944 film about Theresienstadt, the "model" ghetto established by the Nazis. Joseph Goebbels intended to use the film to prove to the International Red Cross and the world that Jews were being well-treated in the camps. The film, however, is an elaborately staged hoax presenting a completely false picture of camp life. Upon completion, the director and most of the cast of prisoners were shipped to Auschwitz.
