Handmade armband inscribed K.Z.L. Terezin owned by Lieselotte Bohm or her mother. It is part of a collection documenting the experiences of Lieselotte and her extended family in Germany, France, and Czechoslovakia before, during, and after the war. Lieselotte was born in Germany to a Jewish mother and non-Jewish father. Lieselotte and her mother were deported to Theresienstadt ghetto-labor camp in German-occupied Czechoslovakia. Both mother and daughter survived. 

Rectangular, discolored, white cloth armband with a narrow red border made from a separate folded strip of cloth sewn to the underside of one long edge. The front has the Czech camp name handwritten in blue ink across the center. There is a circular stamp in faded black ink with Czech text circling the inner border. In the center is an image of a caduceus, a snake wrapped around a pole. The short ends are sewn together to form the band.
