The showers of Theresienstadt Small Fortress, a large vaulted room with tiled walls and water pipes on the ceiling. Prisoners were brought in groups for collective showers with cold water. Unlike other camps, these showers were not used as gas chambers, but the psychological terror associated with forced nudity and the claustrophobic environment was still devastating for detainees.
