Gather in the square in front of the Rudolfinum Concert Hall in Prague. The tour guide will prepare cans of water for everyone, and it is recommended to bring headphones (on the bus to the concentration camp, you can listen to the audio tour of scanning the QR Code with your mobile phone to learn about Prague, the Czech Republic and Terezin The history of the concentration camp; the tour guide will briefly describe the history and discuss it after the listening session on the mobile phone). The drive takes about 1 hour. After arriving in Terezin, you will first go to the large area and the tour guide will give a preliminary explanation at the cemetery (this time I chose the English tour, but there are also Italian or Spanish tours on site; The English tour guide Peter explained very carefully and gave me an in-depth understanding of the history and background of this concentration camp). Then we went to Terezin Concentration Camp and first watched a slideshow (introducing the concentration camp propaganda film shot by the Nazis). In the concentration camp, there is also an English tour guide sent by the park (you can also choose the language, but still not in Chinese), leading a group of people to introduce the facilities and explanations of each room in detail, but even if it is not in Chinese, you can still ask questions and discuss to understand. Since 1780, Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II named the fortress after his mother, Maria Theresa, and it has served as a prison for the Austro-Hungarian Empire (it once held the people who triggered the First World War and assassinated the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Ferdinand and his wife). Gavrilo Princip), and since 1940, served as a relay station for transporting Jews to Auschwitz (extermination camp), but at least 33,000 Jews died here. When the local tour guide led us through the tunnel, he said that only three Jews successfully escaped from the Terezin concentration camp, and there were also Nazi soldiers who secretly delivered food to the Jews. There were even Nazi soldiers who massacred hundreds of Jews and fled after the war. And lived to be over 90 years old. These two locations are worth visiting for Terezin Concentration Camp. It is a pity that we did not go to the museum in the town and visit the concentration camp where children were placed~
