Pavel Batel
Pavel Batel dedicated the past two decades, to intensive research focusing on the history of the Terezin Ghetto. During over 30 interviews with Holocaust survivors and eyewitnesses, Pavel managed to collect many pieces of missing puzzles. In many cases, Pavel was able to interview Holocaust survivors "behind closed doors" and collected the last testimonies survivors never wanted to talk about in front of cameras.
