Six Currency Bills – Theresienstadt Ghetto, 1943
Six bills, different denominations, Theresienstadt Ghetto. January, 1943.
"Jewish" money was issued by the Nazi authorities in Theresienstadt Ghetto as part of a "model ghetto" meant to mislead the Red Cross.
Jewish inmates converted their money when entering the camp for those bills. One German Mark was equal to ten Theresienstadt Kronen, but the money had no value outside the Ghetto walls.
The bills were designed by the artists Jindra Schmidt and Bedrich Potasek and printed in the national bank in Prague. Image of Moses, distorted, is printed in the center of the bill.
Six bills. Very good condition.
