Tommy’s Album
When Tommy was four months old, he and his parents were sent to the Theresienstadt Ghetto in Czechoslovakia. His father, Bedrich Fritta, was a Jewish artist. Jewish artists were forbidden to draw personal drawings in the ghetto, but they drew them in secrecy, and hid them from the Nazis.
In addition to the paintings he drew, Bedrich prepared a special picture album for his son Tommy, as a present for his third birthday. The album was found in the Theresienstadt Ghetto, at the end of the war. Tommy survived the Holocaust.
