T

he Cis Maisel Center 
for Judaic Studies 
and Community 
Engagement will present 
Defiant Requiem, a moving 
feature-length documentary 
that honors the prisoners of 
the Terezín concentration 
camp. The screening will 
be held in the Oakland 
Center Banquet Rooms 
(312 Meadow Brook Road, 
Rochester) on Wednesday, 
March 9, at 7 p.m. 
The film tells the 
Terezín prisoners’ stories 
and combines historical 
photos, animation and Nazi 
propaganda footage — with 
re-creations and current 
footage of Prague and 
Terezín. It reflects the grim 
realities of one of the worst 
periods in human history, 
the Holocaust.
Terezin was originally a 
holiday resort reserved for 
Czech nobility located 30 
miles north of Prague in 
the Czech Republic. During 
World War II, by 1940, 
the Nazi Gestapo turned 
it into a Jewish ghetto and 
concentration camp that held 
Jews from Czechoslovakia 
as well as many people 
deported from Germany, 
Austria, the Netherlands and 
Denmark. More than 150,000 
people were sent to the camp 
before being transported 
by rail to their deaths at 

Oakland University 
to host documentary 
about Terezin 
concentration camp.
