A unique collection of children’s drawings from the Terezín Ghetto, housed at the Jewish Museum in Prague since the end of the war, has been added to the prestigious UNESCO Memory of the World Register. Created between 1942 and 1944 by children imprisoned in the ghetto, many of whom were later deported to Auschwitz, the collection includes around 4,500 drawings. I spoke with the museum’s curator, Michaela Sidenberg, about its significance.

How many pictures are included in the collection of children’s drawings from Terezín, and over what period were they created?.
