Small Fortress
The Small Fortress is a fortress forming a significant part of the town of Terezín in the Czech Republic. The former military fortress was established at the end of the 18th century together with the whole town of Terezín on the right bank of the Ohře River. It served as a prison in the 19th century.
National Cemetery
The National Cemetery was created artificially after liberation in 1945. The stimulus for its creation came from among former prisoners and the heirs of those who died, at whose request physical remains were exhumed from six mass graves in the ramparts of the Small Fortress which had been in use from March 1st to May 7th 1945. Among those who were exhumed were prisoners from the death march that in May 1945 arrived at the Small Fortress.
Ghetto Museum
The Ghetto museum was opened in the former town school in 1991. Within the WWII the home (heim L417) for Jewish boys (10 - 15 years old) was here.
Magdeburg baracks
When the Nazis converted the Terezín military fortress into a prison and Jewish ghetto, they decided to impose a system of self-governance, as they did with other concentration camps and ghettos. It could, therefore, look from the outside like an estate inhabited by contented Jewish families.
Prayer room and replica of a mansard
In house No.17 in today's Dlouhá Street, there is a prayerroom from the ghettoera with its unique, preserved original painting.
In the space above the prayer room , there is so called mansard, which shows self-furnished accommodation of minimal dimensions,
providing at least a little privacy to a small number of prisoners.
The Jewish Cemetery and Crematorium
The dead of the Terezín Ghetto were from the start buried in individual and mass graves near Bohušovice. It was thus that the Jewish Cemetery developed, in which lie some 9 000 victims from the ghetto. The Nazis also decided to create at Terezín a camp crematorium, which came into service on September 7th 1942, and was used in the cremation not only of the dead from the ghetto, but also from the Gestapo police prison in the Small Fortress, and later also those from the forced labour camp at Litoměřice. According to surviving cremation records, some 30 000 victims were cremated here. Urns containing ashes were stored in the columbarium located in the fortress ramparts, but the Nazis were able to destroy the majority before the end of the War.
