In September 1938, Europe’s leaders meet in Munich and sacrifice Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland in exchange for a fragile promise of peace. Within months, Nazi Germany occupies Bohemia and Moravia, and Jewish families in Prague find themselves trapped under a new regime of exclusion, confiscation, and terror.
This documentary follows the life of Evelina Merová (née Landová), a young Jewish girl whose secure childhood in Prague is shattered by anti-Jewish laws, forced relocation, and the loss of basic freedoms — from segregated schooling and wearing the Yellow Star to the creation of the Theresienstadt Ghetto.
Inside Theresienstadt, she endures hunger, overcrowding, forced labor, and the constant fear of deportation, as transports begin rolling east toward Auschwitz and the Nazi killing centers.
Part 1 of Evelina Merová’s journey — from Prague to Theresienstadt.
