1. The 'nazi soldiers did not 'allow' music

Terezin was a 'show' camp, set up as a 'model camp' for Red Cross inspections that would show the world 'just how well the Nazis were treating the Jews'! Maybe the Red Cross fell for it. This is how history, even the history of the Holocaust, becomes distorted. Journalists report 'the facts', we hope, but when they do not know then some of them interpret as they wish or slant the story for their own purposes. PLEASE WRITE TO AP NEWS ABOUT THIS DISTORTION IN THEIR REPORT' SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT. Toward the end of the war the Nazis started to transport the Terezin camp Jews to Auschwitz. Fortunately some were liberated at the war's end. About 8 or 9 years ago the Weisenthal Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles held a commemoration for the Terezin victims and survivors some of the survivors were present and my wife and I talked to a woman who had been in Terezin. We asked her about it, ahe said how hard it really was, they lived in fear for their lives never knowing what the Nazis would do to them. That left a lot of scars on the survivors.
