Description
Visit the former "model" camp for the International Red Cross Committee with a local expert guide.
Explore the Terezín concentration camp on a private educational excursion from Prague. Learn about the atrocities of the Holocaust and the lives of those who were imprisoned here during World War II.
This tour will provide insight into what happened to so many innocent people in Terezin by viewing actual artifacts, children's drawings, poetry and other rare items that survived their owners and speak so eloquently for them. I will make sure to explain with sensitivity, and I will be happy to answer all your questions.

Terezin Jewish Sites
- We will start the tour in Prague with a hotel pickup and a 50-minute drive to Terezín in your private, air-conditioned car.
- Along the way, you will learn about the history of the Czech Republic, what it was like during the occupation in World War II and the tragic fate of the Jews in former Czechoslovakia and Eastern Europe.
- Upon arriving at Terezín, first, we will visit the Large Fortress and the Terezín Museum.
- Afterwards, we will walk through the Magdeburg Barracks, the hidden synagogue, the Jewish cemetery, the Menorah monument, and the crematorium.
- Last but not least, a visit to the Small Fortress to explore the Gestapo prison, the single and mass cells, and a secret tunnel that most visitors do not get to see—this will take place with a local tour guide who has exclusive access to your tour.
- Throughout the tour, you will be provided with historical context, personal stories, and information about the daily lives of the prisoners, including the cultural activities and propaganda efforts organized by the Nazis to deceive the international community about the camp's true nature.
- After the visit, we will drive back to Prague to visit the Jewish Museum and then drop you off at your hotel.
