Terezín Memorial
During the Nazi occupation of the Czech part of Czechoslovakia in World War II, the Small Fortress of Terezín was turned into a Gestapo prison and the Great Fort – the town of Terezín – a Jewish ghetto and transit station to death camps in the east.
For displaced Jews, the Terezín ghetto was a place of suffering, but also of resistance – nearly unimaginable courage, self-sacrifice, and unending struggle to save the intended victims of genocide.
Mission
Terezín Memorial is dedicated to reminding us of the criminal plans of Nazism, to being pro-active in the fight against the re-emergence of extreme rightist, neo-Nazi and nationalistic groups, to honor the Rescuers, and all who resisted the Holocaust and to commemorate the suffering of the victims.
