Back in History - Visit the small camp of TEREZIN and then the ghetto (large camp) from Prague by bus. 45 min drive approximately Full eyes on the conditions of internment of imprisoned Jews and Resistance fighters and torture dungeons. Visit with a very captivating Francophone guide of the whole camp. Passage through a tunnel built in the Prussian era. The weight of history and living conditions are easily imbued. Then a flash in the Jewish ghetto of TEREZIN and an express visit to the museum. But that wasn't the point...

Must see experience - It was a top experience. With a passionate guide, we have received a very clear explanation in Terezin. Also the visit to the crematorium and the museum afterwards we were well informed. It's been an educational day.

Effects of Nazi control over Czechoslovakia - Extremely moving-walking by cemeteries upon arrival set the tone. Guide presented a honest picture of life under Nazi control for relocated Jews. Horrific. Walking in tunnels could be problematic for visitors with mobility issues. Museum displays were powerful-a must see.

Terezin Tour - A really enjoyable tour of Terezin including the small fortress and ghetti. Our tour guide/driver was informative throughout the trip including transfers to and from Terezin. We also had time to visit the cemetery and crematorium, which was an added bonus to the trip. We would highly recommend.

Terezin was the processing location where individuals were sent out to other work and death camps - It was a good drive 40 miles northwest of Prague, where this entire town (bordered by an 18th-century military fortress); where an ancient fortress structure was turned into a concentration camp by the Nazis. This trip was very meaningful for Tom, as it also allowed him to explore a MASSIVE fortification built in 1798 by the Hapsburg empire to defend the country from “then” any possible Russian invasion. In its day the 12-mile perimeter of the town of Terezin (named after St Tereza) was totally surrounded with a defensive double wall and mote, along with a connected side fort (also called the small fort or better known to Tom as a Keep = last line of defense STRONGHOLD) for citizens to escape to should the outer wall fortification be breached in 1798. In its day the fortification was never challenged by foreign invaders, and all the cannon armament was removed during the first world war as scrap metal. The small fort (And it is NOT really that small) is where the army garrison was housed and it also served as the town’s prison. At the start of WWII and the German occupation, most of the towns people had evacuated, so the Germans turned the now empty town (inside this large walled complex) into a Jewish ghetto (holding area) and thus a place (example = reverse corridor entrance at the bottom of a funnel) where the Germans organized further deportation out to other camps. The “small fort” facility became the entrance processing location for over 155,000 Jews / Gypsy’s / Homosexuals / Political dissidents, that the Germens wanted to eliminate. Of that number 35,000 died in Terezin from torture / hard work / execution / typhoid disease, and the rest then transported to other work / death camps. At the end of the war, with the Russians liberating the camp, many of the inmates had nowhere to go and stayed inside the ghetto for months, but typhus disease ran rapid and only 3,600 survived. Many Russian doctors and soldiers also died of typhus as they were trying to help the inmates. This tour turned into a powerful experience for us, as we were told of the terrible things that happened here to both Jewish families and political prisoners.

SUPER learning experience . - This was a very informative tour. While not a fun adventure, one w/sobering information on what Terezin used to be. Our driver was SO knowledgeable, pointing out all sorts of things from Prague to Terezin. Our tour guide at the camp was fabulous.
