Terezin Concentration Camp
Aperçu du circuit
What you will do
On this day-trip to the former ghetto, concentration camp and GESTAPO prison just one hour from Prague, we focus on Czech-Jewish history, World War II and the Holocaust. A sleepy town in the Bohemian countryside today, our expert guides will help see through its pretty facade.
We visit Terezíns monuments, memorials and museums and find hidden traces of its dark past while discussing present-day attitudes towards Terezín. You will learn about its history, from its times as a Habsburg Empire garnison town to the visit of the Red Cross and the story of Friedl Dicker-Brandeis and her children’s paintings.
What to expect
A sobering but essential educational experience shedding light on people’s darkest potential. Remembering what happened then and drawing the right conclusions remains forever crucially important.
Central to the Holocaust, more than 33,000 prisoners died here as a result of malnutrition, disease and the sadistic treatment by their captors. For many more it was their last stop before being deported to extermination camps like Auschwitz, Treblinka or Sobibór.

Avis clients
Notre groupe était trop grand. Il y avait plus de 40 personnes dans notre groupe et un seul guide, ce qui signifie qu'il était très difficile de poser des questions. Le guide était toujours occupé à essayer d'organiser le groupe et à s'assurer que personne ne manquait, de sorte que nous avions l'impression d'être un fardeau en posant des questions. Je ne paierais pas 30 euros pour refaire cette visite.
