In April 1945, even before the Theresienstadt ghetto’s liberation, the World Jewish Congress (WJC) began to document the experiences of the Danish Jewish survivors who had been brought to safety in Sweden. Collecting lists of fellow prisoners still in the ghetto and telegrams to relatives, the organization also gathered some of the earliest known written testimonies from Danish survivors. Though the author has to date only uncovered a small sample set of twenty-two testimonies within the organization’s archival holdings, these testimonies shed light on Danish survivors’ fresh memories and impressions of Theresienstadt. When compared to later testimonies, they provide insight into the changing focuses and concerns of survivors. Additionally, the name lists that the survivors compiled add information about their networks in the ghetto, and the telegrams that survivors sent through the WJC reveal their urgent efforts to both convey and obtain further information from relatives and friends abroad. These sources, written before the war had ended, thus provide a compelling and raw glimpse into Danish survivors’ early memories of ghetto life in Theresienstadt.

关于特莱西恩施塔特隔都的最早的丹麦证词：世界犹太人大会于 1945 年 4 月在瑞典收集

1945 年 4 月，甚至在特莱西恩施塔特隔都解放之前，世界犹太人大会 (WJC) 就开始记录被带到瑞典安全地带的丹麦犹太幸存者的经历。该组织收集了仍在隔离区的囚犯名单和发给亲属的电报，还收集了丹麦幸存者的一些最早的已知书面证词。尽管作者迄今为止只在该组织的档案中发现了一小部分（二十二份证词），但这些证词揭示了丹麦幸存者对特莱西恩施塔特的新鲜记忆和印象。与后来的证词相比，它们提供了对幸存者不断变化的焦点和担忧的见解。此外，幸存者编制的名单添加了有关他们在贫民区网络的信息，幸存者通过 WJC 发送的电报显示了他们为向国外亲友传达和获取进一步信息而做出的紧急努力。这些资料是在战争结束之前写成的，因此为丹麦幸存者对特莱西恩施塔特贫民窟生活的早期记忆提供了令人信服且原始的一瞥。
