Summary/Abstract: Vaclavek gives a survey of the German literature in Terezín. He argues that German literature and theatre were more conservative than the Czech variety. In Terezín one witnesses the last generation of the Prague German-Jewish literature. However, the well-known writers emigrated before the start of the deportations. For this reason, German poetry from Terezín was never widely known. The author introduces some of the German artists and their work.
