Visit Terezin Concentration Camp: Private Day Trip from Prague
Terezin was originally a holiday resort reserved for Czech nobility, turned into a Jewish ghetto by the Nazis during World War II, and used as a concentration camp until 1945 when it was liberated by the Red Army (Soviet Armed Forces). The camp was later transformed into a memorial site and open to visitors to honour those whose lives were lost.
Your expert guide will explain the historical context of the Jewish struggle during the 20th century in the region and will be very happy to answer questions you may have about Jewish history. Despite the horrors that occurred in Terezin, hidden within this imposing military fortress are stories of true heroism, bravery, and a harrowing fight for freedom.
Unravel years of history as you explore the Big Fortress, the Small Fortress, the Ghetto Museum and Magdeburg Barracks.
At the end of this unforgettable excursion, you will be driven back to your hotel in Prague.
