Worldwide Stamps, Postal History, Coins & Banknotes #32

1944, A complete set of seven pieces of currency, apparently uncirculated, from the notorious Theresienstadt concentration camp, in denominations ranging from one to one hundred kronen, each bearing a vignette of Moses holding the Ten Commandments, and a Star of David. When placed in Theresienstadt, the inmates were forced to exchange their currency for this camp money, theoretically redeemable for regular money, but in practice all such notes were of no value outside of the camp in which they were issued. Each bill is signed in facsimile by Jacob Edelstein, Judenrat leader of the Theresienstadt "fantasy" ghetto who was executed by the Nazis at Auschwitz in 1944. Very good. CZ-650/656 XF
