Gerron is forced to move around Europe and live in increasingly difficult circumstances as he tries to avoid the Nazis; eventually he is captured in the Netherlands. The Nazi government imprisons him in the "model" concentration camp, Theresienstadt, where he is asked to make a propaganda film (Der Führer schenkt den Juden eine Stadt) to convince foreign observers that prisoners are being treated well there. He assents, hoping to avoid execution, but he is murdered in Auschwitz after completing the film."

He was, after being sent to Theresienstadt, the "model" concentration camp in Czechoslovakia, handpicked to direct a pro-Nazi propaganda film. Known as The Fuhrer Gives a City to the Jews, (Der Führer schenkt den Juden eine Stadt) the film was meant to persuade an increasingly suspicious world that Jews who had been "relocated" from across Europe were being well treated in their new 'homes." Consumed by the need to express himself before an audience, Gerron assented to self-delusion, and produced a mammoth and monstrous fiction."
