Terezín, Czech Republic: Concentration Camp Memorial
Learn more about Terezín: Terezín, an hour north of Prague, was built by the Habsburgs in the 1780s as a fortified town with (still intact) massive state-of-the-art, star-shaped walls designed to keep out the Prussians. In 1941, the Nazis removed the town's 7,000 inhabitants and brought in 60,000 Jews, creating a concentration camp — a propaganda model Jewish town. Life in this sham town appeared tolerable to human rights visitors but the reality was far more cruel — virtually all of Terezín's Jews ultimately ended up dying either here or at extermination camps farther east.

Terezin Tour, CZECH REPUBLIC
Took a day trip on a bus for 200CZK round trip to Terezin. I had about 5 1/2 hours there and it was more than enough time.
I started at the small fortress/prison camp and moved my way to the Ghetto Museum and then walked around town. Took a 15 minute walk to the crematorium and Jewish Cemetery.
A worthwhile visit and only about an hour from Prague.
Terezin Concentration Camp Tour | Day Trip From Prague
We took a day trip from Prague to Terezin (Terezin Concentration Camp), a small town in the Czech Republic that has a concentration camp from WWII. Thousands of prisoners, including Jews, gypsies, political prisoners, and many others, passed through here. A majority were transported from here to other concentration camps, like Auschwitz. It was a depressing day to say the least, but informational and humbling as well.

Terezin: Paradise Ghetto
After visiting and photographing the Small Fortress at Terezin, Czech Republic I was moved to make a documentary about the concentration camp using some of my photographs in light of current events in the Middle East with ISIS and Nazi similarities. The more I researched the ghetto-camp and viewed historical images and footage, the more I was moved to try and understand the horrendous acts of men toward other human beings. The conclusion is simple: Man has an evil nature and if fed, it will result in the inhumanity toward others. Never forget this modern atrocity: remember the Nameless Ones.

Terezin, 1941-1945
Fotografías del Campo de Concentración de Terezin (Theresienstadt, en alemán), en la República Checa, tomadas en septiembre de 2016.
En 1941, la fortaleza pequeña fue convertida en un ghetto amurallado, que presentaba una fachada que escondía la operación de exterminio de los judíos. Para el mundo exterior, Terezin debía aparecer como una colonia judía modelo. Albergó hacinados a unos 144.000 judíos. Cerca de la cuarta parte murió en el propio campo de concentración, sobre todo por las malas condiciones: el hambre y las enfermedades. Unas 88 000 personas fueron trasladadas a Auschwitz y a otros campos de exterminio. Al finalizar la guerra, solo se encontraron 17.247 supervivientes. El 3 de mayo de 1945, el control del campo fue transferido por los alemanes a la Cruz Roja. El lugar que ocupara el campo de concentración se ha convertido en un museo en memoria de las víctimas.
Photographs of the Terezin Concentration Camp (Theresienstadt, in German), in the Czech Republic, taken in September 2016.
In 1941, the small fortress was turned into a walled ghetto, which featured a facade that hid the Jewish extermination operation. For the outside world, Terezin must appear as a model Jewish colony. It housed over 144,000 Jews. Nearly a quarter died in the concentration camp itself, especially because of the bad conditions: hunger and disease. Some 88,000 people were transferred to Auschwitz and other extermination camps. At the end of the war, only 17,247 survivors were found. On May 3, 1945, control of the camp was transferred by the Germans to the Red Cross. The place occupied by the concentration camp has become a museum in memory of the victims.
LIGA TEREZIN - the trailer
LIGA TEREZIN is a documentary (52 minutes) that tells the incredible story of the soccer league which took place in Ghetto Theresienstadt, 40 miles North West of Prague (now in the Czech Republic).
From 1942 to 1944, Jewish prisoners played hundreds of soccer matches on improvised fields set up in the court-yards of the Barracks where they lived. Thousands of spectators watched a mixture of professional and amateur players and briefly escaped the reality of their terrible plight: the hunger, the sickness and death. All the while they lived in a shroud of fear casted by the terror of the transports that sent people to the East and their certain death.

THE FUHRER GIVES THE JEWS A CITY WWII GERMAN PROPAGANDA FILM 19064
This post-war German documentary film, entitled The Fuhrer Gives the Jews a City, presents fragments of what was intended to be a much longer film made during WWII entitled The Jewish Self-Government in Theresienstadt. The Jewish Self-Government in Theresienstadt was without a doubt one of the most cynical, deceptive and horrendously despicable Nazi propaganda films ever planned. It was created to present a completely false narrative related to the Jews and their plight during the war, showing inmates in civil clothing enjoying normal lives instead of striped pajama-wearing death camp prisoners.
While some mistakenly attribute Theresienstadt to Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels, the film was primarily project of the SS and the so-called Office of the Regulation of the Jewish Question in Bavaria. The film's purpose was to deceive the foreign public and the International Red Cross about the horrific reality of the camps and to cover up the ongoing organized genocide of the Holocaust. The movie was directed by the German Jewish actor Kurt Gerron and the Czech filmmaker Karel Pečeny. Both worked under close SS supervision in the concentration camp. Filmed mostly in the fall of 1944, a version of the movie was completed on 28 March 1945 and screened privately four times. It was never released, but some material was apparently shown in Nazi newsreels. After the war, the complete version of the film was lost but about twenty minutes of footage was later rediscovered in various archives.
This 20-minute version of the film was created post-WWII in an effort to reveal the breadth and depth of the Nazi plan to deceive the world about the final solution. Testimony from survivors of the death camps who were part of the Terezin ghetto is included at the end of the film. A card at 20:19 notes that out of 140,000 persons who were transported to Theresienstadt between 1941-1945, 118,000 died. Over 30,000 starved and 84,000 were sent to and murdered at Auschwitz.
