Munich's NS-Dokumentationszentrum hosted talk on life in Theresienstadt

The NS-Dokumentationszentrum München, Munich's documentation centre for the history of National Socialism at Max-Mannheimer-Platz 1, invited the public to a talk on the Theresienstadt ghetto on Tuesday 13 October at 7pm.

The event, titled "What was life like in Theresienstadt? Reflecting on Jewish Holocaust history", featured Anna Hájková in conversation with Franziska Davies.

The talk centred on Hájková's book "The Last Ghetto" ("Das letzte Ghetto"), published by transcript verlag in 2026. Drawing on extensive archival research, the book presents for the first time an analytical, transnational history of Theresienstadt covering its culture, society, gender relations and organisation, and offers new insights into the history of the Holocaust.

Admission was free and no registration was required. The centre is accessible to people with walking impairments and wheelchair users. Further information on the centre's programme is available at nsdoku.de/programm.
