An extract of which follows :
-
"After the war, nobody cared about the Holocaust for a long time. The Terezín ghetto was not talked about for all the years under communist rule. Only the Small Fortress, where the vigils were held, was visited. The bus didn't even stop in Terezín, as if the ghetto had never been there. They set up an SNB museum (a museum of the National Security Force of the Czechoslovak Socialistic Republic) in the school building where the boys' home used to be. "
