Banknotes concentration camp (Czech Republic)
These notes Nazis created for walking inside the Theresienstadt concentration camp, which was located in the former garrison town of Terezin in the Czech Republic, on the banks of the river Ohre. This camp the Nazis considered "exemplary illustrative" - it showed the Red Cross and other international organizations as an example of good treatment of the Jews. It operated a synagogue, lecture halls, publishes magazines, held performances and exhibitions. These notes 10 and 20 crowns, printed on plain paper, have become part of the Red Cross arranged for the showing off, had no real value and have never been used.
