The walls and courtyards still echo with history, revealing how the Nazi security apparatus—RSHA and Gestapo—used fear as a weapon. Your guide explains how prisoners lived and how acts of quiet courage and solidarity survived inside this symbol of oppression.
Discover the story of Terezín’s so-called “model ghetto,” created for Nazi propaganda yet used as a transit camp to Auschwitz. The exhibits tell of daily life, secret art, and education under impossible conditions. 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.

End your journey at the spot where the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich took place in 1942. The outdoor monument depicts the three paratroopers standing together in courage and unity. From this quiet bend in the road, your guide ties together the day’s narrative of terror, courage, and retribution—reminding visitors why this single act changed the course of Czech and European history.
