The Jewish presence in
Prague dates back to the city's founding over 1000 years
ago. Prague's Jewish Quarter is one of the oldest and
best preserved in Europe. Many important historical
figures from the past millennium have come from Prague's
Jewish Community.
These figures
include Rabbi Löw (world famous Kabbalists and
creator of the Golem), famous “court Jew” Morchedai
Maisel, and
the renowned writer Franz Kafka. On our walking
tour of Prague's Jewish Quarter you'll see five famous
synagogues Maisel Synagogue,

an Austro-Hungarian military outpost, Terezin was, in
1941, converted by Hitler into a holding camp for Jews.
While Terezin itself was not an extermination camp,
thousands of Jews who were held at Terezin were eventually
transported to death camps such as Aushwitz and
Birkenau. The Nazi used Terezin as a propagandistic
tool to cover up
