OBJECTIVES: This paper offers a better understanding of social work practice in the Terezin
ghetto, which served in 1941–1945 as a transit camp and model ghetto for not only Czech but also
thousands of Jews from other Europian countries. THEORETICAL BASE: Historical sources
documented a specific role and operation of the Terezin ghetto. These factors distinguished Terezin
from all other Jewish European ghettos and allowed a unique social care system. METHODS:
We conducted historical research using content analysis to provide a historical overview of the
topic. OUTCOMES: The text provides a comprehensive view of the topic not yet described in
the context of social work. SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: The experience of prisoners
involved in social work in the Terezin ghetto may be a valuable source of inspiration and knowledge
to current social workers. Gaining better insight into this period can also encourage their interest
in social work history and further historical research.
