Valtr Eisinger

There, he made possible the publication of the magazine Vedem ("we lead") that consisted of poems, stories and drawings from young people, aged twelve to fifteen.

In his work with the youth he furthered the concept of self-administration, procured secret teaching and was supported by his close friend Bruno Zwicker (1907–1944), a former representative of the Brno School of Sociology.

Tomas Brod, born 1929, later-on reported: "The Jewish administration did not have enough money to improve the situation for all prisoners, and so it took most care of the children and young people, since in them it saw hope for the future.

"[3] Eisinger fostered their love of literature and founded a weekly magazine called Vedem, written and drawn nearly exclusively by the youth of Theresienstadt.

Tomas Brod: "Each class in the school was something of a miniature home, and each was a peculiar unit of its own, since the educators brought their charges, the children, up in the spirit of their own political persuasion.

"[3] Most probably under Eisinger's influence, the boys adopted a rocket ship, inspired by Jules Verne, flying past a book to a star, as the symbol of their barracks and of their magazine.
