This former ghetto/concentration camp, approximately a one-hour drive from Prague, is a must-see to understand the complicated history that unfolded here in 1941 when the region's thousand-year-old Jewish communities were deported through Terezin -- a way-station to the East and the death camps of Auschwitz, Treblinka and others. See the Gestapo prison and the Terezin Ghetto Museum to learn what happened to so many innocent people. Actual artifacts, children's drawings, poetry and other rare items have survived their creators to eloquently speak for them. The Crematorium and other memorials also are included.
