Terezín: The Music 1941–44 is a 2-CD set with music written by inmates at the Terezín concentration camp during World War II.[1][2][3]

The collection features music composed mostly in 1943 and 1944 by Pavel Haas, Gideon Klein, Hans Krása, and Viktor Ullmann. Haas, Krása, and Ullmann died in Auschwitz concentration camp in 1944, and Klein died in Fürstengrube in 1945.[4] Much of the music was written towards the end of their lives, in 1943 and 1944.[5] The CDs were produced by Alexander Goldscheider, and released in 1991.
