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 - Czech Republic (Theresienstadt Concentration Camp)
Theresienstadt | concentration Camp
Family roots Remain in concentration camps. Theresienstadt concentration camp (often referred to as Terezín) was a Nazi German ghetto during World War II. It was established by the Gestapo in the fortress and garrison city of Terezín (German name Theresienstadt), located in what is now the Czech Republic Nazi extermination machine.
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.

Paradise Camp is a 1986 documentary film about Theresienstadt concentration camp in Czechoslovakia, written and directed by Australians Paul Rea and Frank Heimans, respectively. Czechoslovakian Jews were first told that Theresienstadt was a community established for their safety. They quickly recognized it as a ghetto and concentration camp.
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.

Theresienstadt
This documentary tell's about the Nazi Concentration Camp in Terezin, Czech Republic, that Hitler chosen to make a fake thing to show to world that the nazis militaries treated well their prisoners! It was not true and they made a movie directed by K. Garron to show to the International Red Cross that everybody in the Ghetto was liing well!
Tens of thousands of people died there, some killed outright and others dying from malnutrition and disease. More than 150,000 other persons (including tens of thousands of children) were held there for months or years, before being sent by rail transports to their deaths at Treblinka and Auschwitz extermination camps in occupied Poland, as well as to smaller camps elsewhere.

THE HOLOCAUST - GHETTO THERESIENSTADT
Between 1941 and 1945 the small fortress town of Theresienstadt in Czechoslovakia became a transit point to the death camps in the east for thousands of Czech, German, Austrian and Dutch Jews. All those deported to Theresienstadt were led to believe it was an 'end camp' from which they would travel no further. They were promised a comfortable and peaceful life in the 'Reich home for the aged' and were hoodwinked into signing over to the S.S. all of their properties and assets. In reality, many would be sent on to death camps such as Auschwitz. From 1943, following international concern, the Nazis developed Theresienstadt into a 'show camp' a propaganda exercise designed to conceal from the outside world what was really happening to Europe's Jews. A large scale 'beautification' programme swung into action, giving the camp a pleasant and respectable facade, a deception that succeeded in shielding the terrible truth.
