Terezín, Theresienstadt Ghetto and Lidice Memorial
Begin the tour after pickup from your hotel by the driver and meet your Theresienstadt tour guide.
Head out of the city and see the site where Reinhard Heydrich was assassinated by members of the Czech resistance.
Drive for an hour to Terezín and spend about 2 hours there. Terezín was completely different, both psychologically and physically, from any of the hundreds of other camps. As a "model camp," it functioned differently from normal concentration camps.
Learn what happened to so many innocent people through actual artefacts, children's drawings, poetry, and other rare items that survived their owners and speak so eloquently for them.
Visit the Gestapo prison, the Terezín Museum, the crematorium, the hidden synagogue, which was only recently uncovered, and the newly opened exhibition at the Magdeburg Barracks.
Head back to Prague, stopping on the way to see the Lidice memorial. Lidice was a former Czech town destroyed by the Nazis in retaliation for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich by Czech partisans in Prague. Heydrich chaired the January 1942 Wannsee Conference, which formalized plans for the Final Solution to the Jewish Question.
