338 Theresienstat Concentration Camp / Ghetto Scrip, 1943, Set of 7 NotesCzechoslovakia, set of 7 notes, includes 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100,
and 500 Kronen. Theresienstadt was simultaneously a ghetto, a transit
camp, and a concentration camp. On arrival deportees had to exchange
all their money and assets into this ghetto ‘currency’ despite the fact
that normal trade and business were impossible. The set offered is a
complete set, with the denominations differing only in size and color.
The front of each note has a picture of Moses on it, he is holding the
Ten Commandments which are written in Hebrew. The notes also
carry the signature of Jakob Edelstein the first Chief of the Council of
Jewish Elders which the SS insisted be set up in Theresienstadt Camp-
Ghetto. The notes had no monetary value but within the ghetto could
be used to pay in the communal showers, and for entry to performances
put on by other prisoners. The currency and false image of normality
it helped to portray played a part in convincing members of the Red
Cross who visited in June 1944, that prisoners at Theresienstadt were
receiving acceptable treatment, despite the horrific reality. Uncirculated
condition. ��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������Est.
