The Czech city of Terezín was once a concentration camp, where tens of thousands of people were tortured and killed. Now it is a ghost town; everyone is abandoning it. But a devoted citizen of Terezín, Lebo, intends to preserve the city as it was, to turn it into a Holocaust museum, to save every wall, every sleeping sickness, every basement, every writing on the walls. But the noble desire to preserve the past soon becomes a profitable business, horror is sold as a spectacle, memory as a commodity. When the main character of the novel is forced to create a similar museum in Belarus, in the places of forgotten genocides, the story takes on a satirical, dark and phantasmagoric tone, the pain of humanity is easily transformed into a commercial brand. It is a grotesque, blackly humorous dystopia, a powerful contrast between universal tragedy and humanity.
