"The tragic war memento." Terezín is an 18th century military stronghold used by the Nazis as a jail and a concentration war camp for the Jews from all Europe. Visit the former town of the Jewish ghetto with the Museum and the Small Fortress that served as a prison for the Prague Gestapo. The Memorial to the victims of Nazism and the Holocaust has been established here as a memento of modern European history. Open all year round.

Lidice village, became a symbol of Fascist despotism in World War II. Village lies 20 km west of Prague. The operation by Czechoslovak parachutists in which Heydrich was killed on May 27, 1942 brought shocking reprisals. The vague contents of one censored letter, roused the suspicions that there was some connection between the assassination and the one family in Lidice. The tragedy of this village and 503 inhabitants began on June 10, 1942 a few hours after midnight. At the orders of K. H. Frank all 173 Lidice men were shot, women and children were were poisoned by exhaust gas or sent to the concentration camp. Then Nazis leveled down the village.
Stop here and pay a silent tribute to the innocent Lidice victims, and visit the museum where facts and documents of the Lidice tragedy are collected, the rose garden, memorial site. Open daily April – October 9-18, November – March 9-16.
