This thesis has as main objective to investigate, from a socio-historical perspective, 367 artworks produced by 26 children, born between 1926 and 1938, which were confined at Terezín, a Nazi concentration camp, in the Czech Republic, during the Second World War, aiming to raise other information about the concentrationary universe, lost, forgotten or not touched by the survivors.It also aims to investigate how violent contexts were assimilated by these children and what symbolic and narrative strategies they have developed to thematize it through art.Seeks to establish dialogue between its production and the aesthetic and pedagogical concepts promoted by Modern Art, the New School Movement, trends in vogue in the Nazi pre-occupation period, and by Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, teacher who had supervised the artistic work in camp.The methodological procedures used in conducting the research were selection and reading of written sources and analyzing sources of other types, such as interviews, movies and documentaries.Our hypothesis is that these drawings have testimonial content and value, being another testimony of the Holocaust, a poetic record founded on the child's perception of the events and in his very particular way of expressing them.Also we assume that these artworks express the images of their thoughts, their fears, memories, hopes and dreams.The analysis was guided on the literature of authors who have dedicated themselves to understand how and why the child draws, and that developed theirs theories in the context of Modern Art, the New School Movement and the contemporary.The analysis of the research corpus indicated the meager presence of works with themes related to events repeatedly cited by survivors or recorded in their daily books.On the other hand, indicated the existence of a considerable group of work guided by memories of earlier the war and other two groups which have as subject the Terezín camp.The first presents more symbolic and subjective forms to figure the concentrationary experience that underlie places, people, observed scenes and different modes of perceptions of the camp.The latter group presents a more objective bias, representational, connected to transmission of the experiment assimilated by the sense of sight.We also note that figurations of Terezín camp does not appear in the drawings of children born between 1933 and 1938.The results, in general, expand our understanding of the events and demonstrate the contribution of child art for building other narratives about the concentrationary universe
