Terezín Transports

Bohemia


This small but fascinating exhibition in the town's former weighing office opened in 2020 to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Photographs and documents tell the harrowing story of the WWII-era transports to extermination camps throughout Eastern Europe, including to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where tens of thousands of Terezín prisoners were eventually murdered.
