What You Will See: Terezín Memorial
complex
The Terezín Memorial in the town
of Terezín was built as a Baroque army fortress by emperor
Josef II in the 18th century and named Theresienstadt after
his mother, empress Marie Therese. The fortress served
as a prison almost from the very beginning and became notorious
as a Gestapo prison, Jewish Ghetto and concentration camp
in World War II. In the years 1941 - 1945, Terezín became
the largest concentration camp in Czechoslovakia. Over
140,000 Jewish men, women and children were brought there
from around the country, as well as from Germany, Austria,
Holland, Denmark, Slovakia and Hungary. The majority of
those who survived the forced labor, malnutrition and terrible
living conditions were later transported to the extermination
camps further east. Terezín was turned into a memorial
in 1947. After arriving back in
Prague, you will be dropped off on the Old Town Square or, if
a large bus is used, at the Hotel Intercontinental
located within a 10-minute walk from Old Town Square.
