“Although we are in Terezin, we aren’t losing our optimism or our zest for life and work. Not only will our magazine reflect our cheerful and friendly life with its sometimes-gloomy moments, but it should be proof that we can do what we want, that our horizon extends beyond the Ghetto, and that our interests aren’t limited by wooden barriers. We want to convince ourselves that no one can beat us.”

– Jarmila Steinerová, the 16-year-old editor of the zine Bonaco (“Mess on Wheels”)
