Theresienstadt Concentration Camp Currency Set, 1943
Czechoslovakia.... 1943, Full set of Theresienstadt Concentration Camp; 1,2,5,10,20,50,
and 100 Kronen Notes. 1,2,5, and 10 Note have low serial numbers. On November
24, 1941, the Germans established a Jewish ghetto in the fortress town of Terezin,
Czechoslovakia. Known by its German name, Theresienstadt, it functioned as a ghetto
and transit camp on the route to Auschwitz, until its liberation on May 8, 1945. Currency
used in Theresienstadt (Terezin) was designed by Czech artist Peter Kien, who was
interned there and later died in Auschwitz. On the front of each bill was an engraved
portrait of Moses holding the Ten Commandments in Hebrew. When Kien initially
submitted his designs to Reinhard Heydrich, they were rejected. Because Heydrich
objected to the fact that Moses looked too Aryan, the notes were modified to show
Moses with more strongly stereotyped Semitic features; the design had to conform
to the Nazi vision of Jewish appearance. The final design shows Moses with a long
hooked nose and curly hair. Heydrich also demanded that the hand of Moses cover the
commandment that stated “Thou Shalt Not Kill. Notes range from XF-UNC condition.
