About This Book
Documentation, through photographs and interviews, of those who survived the unique Nazi ghetto/camp located at TerezĂn, Czech Republic. Dennis Carlyle Darling has photographed and interviewed hundreds of Holocaust survivors who spent time at the German transit camp and ghetto at TerezĂn, a former eighteenth-century military garrison located north of Prague. Many of the prisoners were kept there until they could be transported to Auschwitz or other camps, but unlike German captives elsewhere, they were allowed to participate in creative activities that the Nazis used for propaganda purposes to show the world how well they were treating Jews. Although it was not classified as a "death camp, " more than 33, 000 prisoners died at TerezĂn from hunger, disease, and mistreatment.
In Borrowed Time, Darling reveals TerezĂn as a place of painful contradictions, through striking and intimate portraits that retrace time and place with his subjects, the last remnants of those who survived the experience. Returning to sites of painful memories with his interview subjects to photograph them, Darling respectfully depicts these survivors and tells their stories.
