Conspiracy

[Sam172]

In the film Conspiracy (the one about the Final Solution pertaining to the Jews), the phrase;

"teresian stat"

(if of course, I have spelt the object in question correctly)
Is used a number of times when making comments about the Jews, and the ghettos. They would be living in "teresian stat", so I think I heard.

The question is......what does it mean?

Most likely Theresienstadt...one of the first ghettos established by the Reich for the deportation of Jews...

On October 10, 1941 the Germans initially decided to make Theresienstadt into a ghetto for selected Jews in the German Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, and in the Greater German Reich, which included Austria and part of western Poland. The Jews who were to be sent to Theresienstadt included those over 60 years old, World War I veterans, prominent people such as artists or musicians, very important persons, the blind, the deaf, and the inmates of the Jewish mental hospitals and the Jewish orphanages.

The first Jews, who were brought to Theresienstadt on November 24, 1941, were 342 men who were housed in the Sudeten barracks on the west side of the old garrison, from where one can see the Sudeten mountain range near the border between Germany and the Czech Republic. This first transport, called the Aufbaukommando, was brought there to prepare the 10 barracks buildings for the rest of the Jews who would soon follow. On December 4, 1941 another transport of 1,000 Jews who were to form the Jewish "self-government" of the ghetto was sent to Theresienstadt. These two early transports became known as AK1 and AK2.
