The program is presented in connection with the exhibition ​ , on view at the Center for Jewish History.​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIOkePeko9oNo place in Czechia bears the imprint of the Holocaust as deeply as Terezín. In the film, a lone traveler wanders through its streets, encountering local residents who would rather leave the past behind. Yet as the former ghetto fades from living memory, forgetting has done little to bring the town back to life. Why has Terezín become a ghost town? And what does its desolate present reveal about our broader relationship to Jewish history and remembrance?Presented in connection with the Leo Baeck Institute’s exhibition, the program reflects on Terezín as a place where history, memory, and everyday life continue to intersect. The exhibition, on view from May 6 to December 31, 2026, presents for the first time in the United States a rare album of private photographs preserved by an inmate of the Theresienstadt Ghetto. The album contains the first known surviving images of Theresienstadt not produced for propaganda purposes.Between the Ditches and Ramparts had its world premiere as an official selection of the Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival and was also selected for the JFBB Jewish Film Festival Berlin Brandenburg. Director and producer Viktor Portel won first prize in the Online Current Affairs and Reportage category of Czech Press Photo for his film Heart of Havel.
