Abstrakt: OBJECTIVES: This paper offers a better understanding of social work practice in the Terezin ghetto, which served in 1941-1945 as a transit camp and model ghetto for not only Czech but also thousands of Jews from other Europian countries. THEORETICAL BASE: Historical sources documented a specific role and operation of the Terezin ghetto. These factors distinguished Terezin from all other Jewish European ghettos and allowed a unique social care system. METHODS: We conducted historical research using content analysis to provide a historical overview of the topic. OUTCOMES: The text provides a comprehensive view of the topic not yet described in the context of social work. SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: The experience of prisoners involved in social work in the Terezin ghetto may be a valuable source of inspiration and knowledge to current social workers. Gaining better insight into this period can also encourage their interest in social work history and further historical research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
