Collection of ghetto camps banknotes

5 banknotes used in ghettos and concentration camps.

1-2. Two krone banknotes with values of 50 and 100 krone - the Theresienstadt ghetto. (In order to present "Jewish" notes, the Nazis printed a Star of David and an illustration of Moshe Rabbeinu holding the tablets. The reason why the value of the notes was set in the "Czech" currency rather than the German mark is because of Terezin's geographical location in Czechoslovakia (mostly occupied by the Nazis before the outbreak of World War II), as the value of the Czech currency. Ghetto residents were obliged to convert their money and some of their property into these notes. There was also a bank in Terezin ghetto that was responsible for the banknotes signed by the chairman of the Jewish Committee).

3-4. Two bills from the Westerbork camp - 'Lager Westerbork' - Holland, in values of 10, and 100 cents. (The camp was one of two transit camps set up by the Nazis in the Netherlands to deport Dutch Jews to concentration and extermination camps in the east. Its location was close to the tiny village of Westbork in the Drenthe region, on the German-Dutch border. It began to function as a transit camp on July 1, 1942 after the Germans occupied the Netherlands. [Anne Frank stayed in the camp between August 7 and September 3, 1944 before being sent to Auschwitz).

5. Banknote 5 Mark 1940 - Lodz Ghetto.
