= Risks and consequences for creating drawings that the Germans would not want seen? =

= Greuelpropaganda, horror propaganda. This is what the Germans called most art seen from the artists of the ghetto of Terezin also any of the art they considered untrue or wrong. For horror propaganda a person could face prison. Once in prison the person was then tortured. If the person did not die they would be shipped to Auschwitz. A concentration camp. For some prisoners their families would be brought in to the prison and tortured as well, after questioning. In 1944 a group of artists were arrested for horror propaganda. They went through the same treatment as was just described. Most of the artists ended up in Auschwitz. Many artists painted what they saw and what they felt, instead of how the Germans wanted it seen. The artists did this partly because they wanted the people living in the post war times, not to take the Germans word, for what had happened to them. They wanted everyone to know the truth. How the Germans damaged, hurt and disrespected them. Many people stood up against the Germans through art by showing the world what was really going on. The children did it merely for fun, or to get all of their feeling out. The adults did it to show the truth. = = = It all depends on how you look at it

"I. Tereisn is full of beauty. It's in your eyes now clear And through the street the tramp Of many marching deet I hear.

In the ghett at Terezin, It looks that way to me, Is a square kilometer of earth Cut off from the world that's free.

Death, after all, claims everyone, You find it everywhere. It catches up with even those Who wear their noses in the air.
