Discover the story of Terezín’s so-called “model ghetto,” created for Nazi propaganda yet used as a transit camp to Auschwitz.

Children’s drawings, hidden diaries, and cultural resistance reveal the human spirit that endured within this system of deception and control, offering a deeply personal view of wartime survival.

At Lidice, witness the tragic result of Heydrich’s assassination. Learn why this small village was erased from the map as an act of Nazi retribution, and what befell its men, women, and children. The modern museum presents emotional yet balanced exhibits, while the surrounding meadows and the Children of Lidice sculpture provide a quiet space for reflection and remembrance of innocence lost.

Enter the crypt beneath this Baroque church, where the paratroopers of Operation Anthropoid made their final stand.
