OBJECTIVES: This paper reviews music as a significant part of the children's care and social work in the Terezín ghetto during the Holocaust. THEORETICAL BASE: In the Terezín ghetto, concentration camp, and model ghetto with a specific role in Nazi propaganda, the Jewish self-government was able to create a sophisticated and efficient system providing care and support by the prisoners for the prisoners amid the most adverse conditions. While rich cultural life in this inhomogeneous, international community was thoroughly explored, the social work and care practice remained understudied. METHODS: Our historical research particularly aimed to investigate the use of musical activities within the children's care system and social work practice in the ghetto and their benefits for the children. OUTCOMES: Findings demonstrate how engagement in various musical activities helped to fulfil the goals adults caring for the children strived to reach. They purposefully and creatively used them to help several thousand children, often severely traumatised, better cope and support their emotional and social wellbeing in this place with extreme conditions. SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: These experiences of Terezín's prisoners affirmed some of the best benefits of engagement in musical activities in meeting the psychosocial needs of children facing adversities relevant even today and for contemporary social work practice.
