Terezin (Theresienstadt)

Terezin, also known as Theresienstadt, was a ghetto and concentration camp established by the Nazis in what is now the Czech Republic during World War II. It was portrayed as a "model" camp to deceive the international community about the treatment of Jews. In reality, it was a place of harsh conditions, forced labor, and overcrowding. Many inmates were eventually deported to extermination camps. Terezin has become a symbol of the suffering endured by Jewish people during the Holocaust and serves as a reminder of the atrocities committed during that period. Today, it is a site of memorial and education.
