Zbynek Brynych's award-winning film presents a vivid and realistic picture of the infamous Terezín Ghetto under Nazi control during World War II. The Ghetto was an international marshaling community in Czechslaovakia where thousands of Jews from around Europe were held before being told they were being simply transferred to other towns - when they were in fact being sent to their deaths in the concentration camps.

Beneath the apparent serenity of everyday life in the Ghetto, the film slowly gathers a sense of the cold grip of terror in the Nazi's purposeful, grotesque preparations for genocide.

This haunting feature is presented for the first time ever in the UK.
