The Terezin Concentration Camp Half Day Trip discover you Terezín, a small city in the Czech Republic and precisely not far from its capital, Prague, was a fortress built by Emperor Jose II of Habsburg. A place that grew as a military base and prison for the enemies of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Terezín is located in a strategic enclave to defend Prague from ancient Prussia.
Much later, already moved in 1941, the city was occupied by the Nazi army and turned into a ghetto and gestapo prison. It housed one of humanity's darkest pasts during the 20th century with the constitution of the Theresienstadt concentration camp, commonly known as the Terezín concentration camp.
This place, with the passage of time, served to use both the prisoners and its streets, schools and squares to record a Propaganda film and thus convince the world through the International Red Cross of the Nazi goodness towards the Jewish people.
Our Terezin Concentration Camp Half Day Trip allows us to know first-hand what was a real deception to the world, “a city given to the Jews” this was the motto used by the Nazis but certainly it was all a farce.
The visitor can feel the terrible conditions that the prisoners had to suffer in their rooms and barracks and wait for the final liberation… A visit full of emotion, sadness, but one that implies understanding one of the darkest and darkest times of our humanity.
Terezín is a chapter that is part of that darkness and that under a visit by expert guides you can learn about the deep history that awaits this place, intact until today.
