The Terezín Memorial honors the memory of tens of thousands of Jews imprisoned in what the Nazis falsely presented as a “model ghetto.” In reality, it was a site of propaganda, forced displacement, and cultural resilience. Our semi-private tour, led by Holocaust educators, focuses on Jewish history and includes key sites such as the Ghetto Museum, Magdeburg Barracks, Jewish Cemetery, Crematorium, Small Fortress, and the Hidden Synagogue—preserved with original inmate-painted prayers. To see all the sites of Terezín properly would require several days. Our colleague always tailors each visit according to the group’s timing and interest. Unlike brief or rushed tours, we offer the most detailed and meaningful experience—with door-to-door service and insights based on ongoing independent research. All our educators are personally trained and work closely with Czech author and Terezín expert Pavel Batel, whose work is based on interviews with survivors and decades of field research.

This site served as housing for prominent Jewish artists, educators, and community leaders imprisoned in Terezín. Today, it displays preserved drawings, theatrical programs, musical compositions, and poems created in captivity. Your visit here reveals the ghetto’s role not only as a place of suffering but also of extraordinary spiritual and artistic resistance.

A deeply moving part of the visit, this site honors the memory of thousands who perished in Terezín. The cemetery holds both marked graves and mass burial sites, while the adjacent crematorium bears witness to the systematic handling of death during the Holocaust. Your guide will explain how memorial rituals and remembrance evolved here after the war.

You will hear stories about the everyday life of the Czech political prisoners in a concentration camp during the Nazi era. Visiting the Small Fortress is a very dramatic and intensive experience. Pavel is describing facts from original memoirs written by eyewitnesses and survivors right after the war. He personally interviewed their family members. Czech survivors of the Small fort suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder when they should recall memories of extreme torture of the special group of prisoners who were not considered to be human beings. These prisoners had no names and no numbers and usually didn't live longer than five days. They were called Jews!

On the approximately 45-minute drive to Terezín, you will pass the site of Reinhard Heydrich’s assassination, connected to the famous Operation Anthropoid, while learning about the Czech experience during World War II and the role of the Czech resistance.
