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. These coffins would be taken either for burial in the Jewish cemetery or cremation. Relatives forbidden to leave the Ghetto could accompany coffins only this far.
