Description

Only in the recent past has Terezin been known as a tragic symbol of detractors, dissidents and opposite to the Nazi regime. The Mission of the Terezin Memorial - the only institution of its class in the Czech Republic - is to commemorate the victims of Nazi political and racial persecution during the occupation of Czech lands in World War II. The memorial promotes the museum, research and educational activities, and visits to commemorative sites related to the pain and death of thousands of victims of war. Although the fortress was founded as very modern at the end of the 18th century, its function has changed over the years. Orientative program: The Telinein excursion itinerary will begin at the meeting point at 9:00 in the morning. The first trip will last almost an hour until you reach the main fortress. To better understand Terezín, already during the journey, historical and technical details will be informed that will then be related to what happened there. When we leave Prague we will pass through the monument to the actors of the ** Anthropoid Operation **. We will see the main strength that is a city. The entire city was the Jewish ghetto. In the cemetery complex you will listen to figures, motives and methods. We will enter a museum to know of names, facts and ways. Then we will continue to the national cemetery while the guide will explain the differences between the ** Ghetto ** and the field, then we will visit the ** concentration camp ** following the same route as the prisoners followed, starting in the administrative courtyard. After the ** 'Arbeit Macht Frei', ** we will reach the area for prisoners. We will pass through the Casamatas de la Fortaleza and we will reach the shooting field to go to a part of the residential area.
