Nazi-era singer returns to stage ... director of the Terezin Memorial, told CTK that the names of the executed were not written on the 824 bronze plates that non-ferrous metals thieves stole from the National Cemetery earlier in April. The names of the last execution victims are written on a large board that has remained untouched. The stolen bronze plates are to be replaced with ones of resin.
The memorial would like them to be installed at the cemetery by May 18 when tribute is traditionally paid to the Nazi victims in Terezin. The last execution in the Gestapo prison was the largest in its history. The Terezin prison and ghetto and the Litomerice concentration camp made the largest complex of its kind in the Nazi Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Some 220,000 people from all over of Europe passed through it during the war. Only about one third of them lived to see the end of the war. Some of the prisoners died in Terezin, others in extermination camps. The Terezin Memorial was established in Terezin's Small Fortress in May 1947.
