When I finally arrived at Terezín, I felt I was walking with those people —
I SENSED THEY WERE THERE WITH ME. I wanted to profoundly discuss with my students what Jewish life was like before the Holocaust and what was lost.

– Jennifer Baker, Schächter Fellow

For the viewer, what ultimately remains after watching Defiant Requiem is

to the prisoners of Terezín who had been condemned to death.
