A complete set of banknotes from the Theresienstadt ghetto
A complete set of banknotes from the Trisenstadt ghetto.
In order to present "Jewish" notes, the Nazis printed a Star of David and an illustration of Moshe Rabbeinu holding the tablets. The reason why the value of the notes was set in the "Czech" currency rather than the German mark is because of Terezin's geographical location in Czechoslovakia (mostly occupied by the Nazis before the outbreak of World War II), as the value of the Czech currency. Ghetto residents were obliged to convert their money and some of their property into these notes. There was also a bank in Terezin ghetto that was responsible for the banknotes signed by the chairman of the Jewish Committee.
