Overview
Terezín serves as a powerful memorial to Holocaust victims, particularly those who passed through the Theresienstadt 'showcase' camp. The town offers a sobering but essential historical experience, combining a preserved fortress from 1780 with the remnants of the Nazi concentration camp where around 30,000 people died before being deported to Auschwitz.
