The book 3000 Fates is based on police documents from the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, diaries from Terezin, letters from the Riga Ghetto, survivors’ recollections, and other sources. This book is dedicated to a tragic event of the Second World War, the deportation of three thousand Jewish prisoners from the Terezin ghetto to Riga in January and August 1942. It is based on archival documents and the accounts of eyewitnesses, survivors of the Terezin and Riga ghettos, of the concentration camps Salaspils, Kaiserwald, Stutthof, Buchenwald, Dachau, and of the death marches. Augmented by numerous photographs and documents, it gives a three-dimensional picture of Jewish life in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia and illustrates human confrontation of the machine of destruction.
