    Took a day trip on a bus for 200CZK round trip to Terezin. I had about 5 1/2 hours there and it was more than enough time.
    I started at the small fortress/prison camp and moved my way to the Ghetto Museum and then walked around town. Took a 15 minute walk to the crematorium and Jewish Cemetery.
    A worthwhile visit and only about an hour from Prague.

    My great grandma passed a few years ago. But she and her mother were in that camp in Czech. She told me just 2 stories but they were enough. She was a amazing women who lost her mother as a child right in front of her.

    My grandma and grandpa met here at 14 and 16yrs old.. My grandpa was shipped off to Auschwitz but somehow survived. They met up after the war in NYC and created a life together in L.A. My grandma passed away quite young in 1989 and my grandpa lived a long and good life passing away in 2013. This was very chilling watching this video knowing my grandparents spent three years of their life there and in some odd way is the reason I even exist. Thanks for sharing.

      Jason,concentration camp was established by Germans as a example how well were Jewish people treated by Germans .Camp was for show for International Red Cross managed by Swiss organisation.Whole town was one friendly population of Jewish people,restaurants with tables outside,people eating food,kids playing with toys and band happily playing music as Swiss group drove past and filming "happy Jews".Was there in army in 1965 and during state holidays and weekends,we had to stay guards of honour.Very depressing place.

    “That bit of filth in dirty walls,
    And all around barbed wire,
    And 30,000 souls who sleep
    Who once will wake
    And once will see
    Their own blood spilled.
    I was once a little child,
    Three years ago.
    That child who longed for other worlds.
    But now I am no more a child
    For I have learned to hate.
    I am a grown-up person now,
    I have known fear.
    Bloody words and a dead day then,
    That’s something different than bogie men!
    But anyway, I still believe I only sleep today,
    That I’ll wake up, a child again, and start to laugh and play.
    I’ll go back to childhood sweet like a briar rose,
    Like a bell which wakes us from a dream,
    Like a mother with an ailing child
    Loves him with woman’s love.
    How tragic, then, is youth which lives
    With enemies, with gallows ropes,
    How tragic, then, for children on your lap
    To say: this for the good, that for the bad.
    Somewhere, far away out there, childhood sweetly sleeps,
    Along that path among the trees,
    There o’er that house
    Which was once my pride and joy.
    There my mother gave me birth into this world
    So I could weep . . .
    In the flame of candles by my bed, I sleep
    And once perhaps I’ll understand
    That I was such a little thing,
    As little as this song.
    These 30,000 souls who sleep
    Among the trees will wake,
    Open an eye
    And because they see
    A lot
    They’ll fall asleep again. . .”

    I was born in 1990 and I’m now 30. I’ve read and watched countless material on the Holocaust, in an attempt to understand it. Yet no amount of education will ever allow me to comprehend the scale of this atrocity. Videos like this give me a small glimpse into it.
    Its so sickening and horrifying and evil that my brain has a hard time getting to grips with the scale of it. How can people be so cruel to each other? I know there was a Nazi propaganda film made at this camp, that shown people playing football and made to look like it was almost a summer camp for Jewish folk. Sadly everyone in that film was murdered.
    Truly awful, the Holocaust is by far and wide the worst evil act in the history of humanity imo.
    God bless their souls they shall never be forgotten.

    It must be a very sad odyssey to recount it.
    The crimes and cruelties committed against my sons and daughters, my fathers and mothers, my brothers and sisters hurt me deeply, regardless their ethnicity and nationality.
    In Isaiah 2: 4, Jehovah God, the Creator and Source of life, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, promises:
    "He will be judge among the nations and will settle matters in relation to many peoples. They will turn their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. The nations will no longer raise their swords against each other and learn no more to wage war."
    My immediate neighbors are Jews and I am a Jehovah's Witness.
    Their hearts are superior than pure gold by far. They are extremely kind.
