Despite the overcrowding, hunger and forced labor, the Jews in Theresienstadt held extensive educational and cultural activities. Of approximately 140,000 Jews imprisoned in Theresienstadt, approximately 35,000 perished in the ghetto itself and approximately 88,000 were deported to the death camps.
