1944, THERESIENSTADT GHETTO SAVINGS BOOK OF THE BANK OF THE JEWISH SELF-ADMINISTRATION.
The camp money appears as part of the propaganda in the movie THE FUHRER gives a city to the Jews (also known as Theresienstadt: A documentary film o the Jewish Resettlement). The Nazis tried to destroy the film at the end of the war, and only part of it survived. One of the scenes that exist in the seript but were burned out of the film showed elderly Jews line up, waiting with money in hand to deposit their " savings" in the nank. The getto bank operated from May, 1943, just after the money was releases, until August, 1944. The bank closed just after the Red Cross visit had been made and the film had been completed. With no further propaganda use, the charade was ended, and the bank and several other buildings ceased operation. Also at this time, the majority of the inmates were deported to thir deaths.
