Food for the Prisoners of Terezín
During the Second World War, transports of prisoners from a nearby Terezín ghetto were regularly passing through what is currently known as Masarykova Street in Bohušovice. In the place where Masarykova Street meets Družstevní Street, children holding bags full of food used to mingle with the marching prisoners. They were hiding between the prisoners and giving them food. This happened regularly when the transport was accompanied by Czech policemen because a group of local inhabitants was secretly informed about the movements of the transports. But once it went wrong. Taťána Bubníková, one of the children that used to mingle with the prisoners, recalls: “The Germans somehow found out what were doing, and they sent German guards instead of the Czech ones. We did not know that, and we mingled with the transport as usual. My mother was standing nearby with some more bags with food, and when she handed them over to us, we were arrested. They were all armed and they took us to the train station. There, they lined us up by the wall and wanted to shoot us.” An interrogation and explanation followed. Taťána Bubníková adds: “I have no idea how my mother managed to explain that, but in the end they let us go.”
