Deported from Prague to Terezin in 1941, at age 12, Helga Weissova spent almost three years creating drawings that showed the true conditions in the Ghetto. This drawing shows a cart piled high with baggage and people at the Ghetto checkpoint. Terezin was a transit stop on the way to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
