History and Significance of Terezín

Terezín, a small fortified town northwest of Prague, holds immense historical significance as one of the most notorious Nazi-run ghettos and concentration camps during World War II.

Established in 1941, Terezín was presented as a "model ghetto" to mask the Nazis’ systematic genocide of Jewish people and other minorities. It housed over 150,000 prisoners, many of whom perished due to horrid living conditions, starvation, and disease.

Today, Terezín’s remaining sites, including the Ghetto Museum and Crematorium, serve as powerful reminders of the atrocities committed there and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity.
