It was used as a propaganda weapon against international opinion and concerts were held there in front of the Red Cross.Ìý In reality, it was a way station en route to death: most of its prisoners were transported to Auschwitz.
Now on display at the Jewish Museum in London is a special exhibition of art, I never saw another butterfly, created by some of the children imprisoned in the camp. Angela RobsonÌývisits theÌýmuseum.
