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 checkpoint at the Hamburg barracks, near the railroad stop. Terezin was a transit ghetto stop on the way to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
