Jews from Denmark in Terezín ꟾ Lecture by Silvie Goldbaum Tarabini

Following the „Judenaktion“ in Denmark in October 1943, 470 Jews were deported to Ghetto Theresienstadt. Other ghetto-prisoners considered the Danes „privileged“ because they received food parcels (from Spring 1944), were visited by the Danish Red Cross, and as a group were exempted from the transports to Auschwitz-Birkenau. In this lecture, however, Terezín will be looked at through the eyes of the Danish prisoners, who despite their relatively privileged position also experienced hardships and suffering.
Date: 27 October 2025, 6:00 pm
Place: Auditorium OVK, Maiselova 15, Prague 1, 3rd floor

The lecture will be accompanied by the exhibition “Danish Jews in Terezín,” prepared by the Department of Scandinavian Studies, Faculty of Arts, Charles University. The exhibition is open throughout October, Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 4 PM, at the Department for Education and Culture, Maiselova 15.

The lecture is a part of the series organised by the Jewish Museum in Prague and EHRI-CZ “New Views and Sources on the History of Holocaust” to commemorate 80 years since the end of WWII.

Entrance fee: 60 CZK
