Overview of Theresienstadt
Theresienstadt was run by the SS and commanded,
in turn, by Siegfried Seidl (November 1941 - July 1943), Anton
Burger (July 1943 - February 1944), and Karl Rahm (February
1944 - May 1945). Czech gendarmes served as the ghetto guards,
and with their help the Jews were able to maintain contact with
the outside world.
