The Ghetto Museum explores the rise of Nazism and life in the Terezín ghetto. The building once accommodated the camp’s 10- to 15-year-old boys; haunting images painted by them still decorate the walls.
The former Magdeburg Barracks (Magdeburská kasárna), which served as the seat of the Jewish ‘town council’, houses an annex to the main museum. Here you can visit a reconstructed dormitory and see exhibits on the rich cultural life that somehow flourished against this backdrop of fear.
There is also a small exhibit in the grim Crematorium in the Jewish Cemetery just off Bohušovická brána, about 750m south of the main square.
The Ghetto Museum has multilingual pamphlets and tour guides (some of them ghetto survivors) to offer assistance.
