• Terezin Memorial - The Terezín Memorial pays tribute to the memory of the tens of thousands of Jews who were imprisoned in what the Nazis deceitfully portrayed as a “model ghetto.” In truth, it was a place of propaganda, forced displacement, and cultural resilience. Our semi-private tour, guided by Holocaust educators, emphasizes Jewish history and includes significant sites such as the Ghetto Museum, Magdeburg Barracks, Jewish Cemetery, Crematorium, Small Fortress, and the Hidden Synagogue—preserved with original inmate-painted prayers. To fully explore all the sites of Terezín would take several days. Our colleague customizes each visit according to the group’s schedule and interests. Unlike brief or hurried tours, we provide the most comprehensive and meaningful experience—with door-to-door service and insights based on ongoing independent research. All our educators are personally trained and collaborate closely with Czech author and Terezín expert Pavel Batel, whose work is grounded in interviews with survivors and decades of field research.
• Magdeburska Kasarna (Magdeburg Barracks) - This location served as accommodation for prominent Jewish artists, educators, and community leaders imprisoned in Terezín. Today, it showcases preserved drawings, theatrical programs, musical compositions, and poems created in captivity. Your visit here uncovers the ghetto’s role not only as a place of suffering but also of remarkable spiritual and artistic resistance.
• The Jewish Cemetery - A profoundly moving part of the visit, this site honors the memory of thousands who perished in Terezín. The cemetery contains both marked graves and mass burial sites, while the adjacent crematorium testifies to the systematic handling of death during the Holocaust. Your guide will explain how memorial rituals and remembrance evolved here after the war.
• Mala Pevnost (Small Fortress) - You will hear stories about the daily life of the Czech political prisoners in a concentration camp during the Nazi era. Visiting the Small Fortress is a very dramatic and intense experience. Pavel shares facts from original memoirs written by eyewitnesses and survivors right after the war. He personally interviewed their family members. Czech survivors of the Small Fortress suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder when recalling memories of extreme torture of the special group of prisoners who were not considered human beings. These prisoners had no names and no numbers and usually didn’t survive longer than five days. They were called Jews!
• Reinhard Heydrich Assassination Site - On the approximately 45-minute drive to Terezín, you will pass the site of Reinhard Heydrich’s assassination, linked to the famous Operation Anthropoid, while learning about the Czech experience during World War II and the role of the Czech resistance.
