About Vedem

Vedem is a website presenting the VEDEM magazine, a publication that 13- to 16-year-old boys secretly produced in the Terezín ghetto between 1942 and 1944. The site draws mainly on the boys' texts to describe their daily life, their fears and worries, and their pastimes. It also includes walking articles about places in the former ghetto, told through the boys' writing.

The site is part of the Terezínská štafeta project and was created by students and teachers of the Přírodní škola gymnasium, with Holocaust witnesses and friends, and with support from the Terezín Memorial. It is presented as a tribute to the victims and their courage, and as a way of passing their legacy to later generations. No pricing is stated in the source.
