  • Whole Dissertation Hajkova 3
    Abstract This dissertation explores the prisoner society in Terezín (Theresienstadt) ghetto, a transit ghetto in the Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia. Nazis deported here over 140, 000 Czech, German, Austrian, Dutch, Danish, Slovak, and Hungarian Jews. It was the only ghetto to last until the end of Second World War. A microhistorical approach reveals the dynamics of the inmate community, shedding light on broader issues of ethnicity, stratification, gender, and the political dimension of the “little people” shortly before they were killed. Rather than relegating Terezín to a footnote in narratives of the Holocaust or the Second World War, my work connects it to Central European, gender, and modern Jewish histories. A history of victims but also a study of an enforced Central European society in extremis, instead of defining them by the view of the perpetrators, this dissertation studies Terezín as an autarkic society. This approach is possible because the SS largely kept out of the ghetto. Terezín represents the largest sustained transnational encounter in the history of Central Europe, albeit an enforced one. Although the Nazis deported all the inmates on the basis of their alleged Jewishness, Terezín did not produce a common sense of Jewishness: the inmates were shaped by the countries they had considered home. Ethnicity defined culturally was a particularly salient means of differentiation. The dynamics connected to ethnic categorization and class formation allow a deeper understanding of cultural and national processes in Central and Western Europe in the twentieth century. The society in Terezín was simultaneously interconnected and stratified. There were no stark contradictions between the wealthy and majority of extremely poor prisoners.

  • Theresienstadt
    Theresienstadt (in Czech, Terezin) Ghetto in Czechoslovakia. The Nazis built Theresienstadt in order to centralize the Jewish populations of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (see also Bohemia and Moravia, Protectorate of). Additionally, certain categories of Jews from Germany and Western Europe, such as famous or wealthy Jews, those with special talents, and old people were included in the ghetto. Ultimately, the Nazis intended to mask the extermination of European Jewry by presenting Theresienstadt as a model ghetto, simultaneously, slowly deport the Jews at Theresienstadt to extermination camps. The first Jews arrived in Theresienstadt in November 1941. Czech Jewish leaders had supported the idea of a "model Jewish settlement" at Theresienstadt, thinking it would keep the Jews from being deported. However, upon arrival, it became evident that conditions at Theresienstadt were similar to those of a concentration camp, and that the ghetto would not save them from deportations. Indeed, two months after the ghetto was set up, the first deportation from Theresienstadt took place - 2,000 Jews were sent to Riga. By September 1942, the ghetto reached its peak of 53,004 prisoners, with Jews continuing to arrive until the war's end. At the same time, deportations continued: initially to ghettos in Poland and the Baltic States, and from October 1942, until the end of the war, they were deported to the Treblinka and Auschwitz extermination camps. By this time, only 11,068 people remained in Theresienstadt. Theresienstadt was operated by the SS, whilst Czech police acted as ghetto guards. The internal affairs of the ghetto were run by the Aeltestenrat (Council of Elders), whose first chairman was Jacob Edelstein.

And as they had done for over one hundred years, the Jews of Tyler, Texas had once again come together to light the candles of Shabbat.1 This spring evening, however, was different. Because on this night a torah scroll, lovingly recovered from war-torn Czechoslovakia, would be welcomed into their community. Though auspicious, the scroll itself was physically unremarkable: a pair of plain 40 inch wooden rollers, wound with animal parchment, lettered in traditional black square Ashkenazi script, held together with sinew and glue.
