muzeum ghetta ("ghetto museum")

lots of information about the life of the people. Their conditions activities how they tried to help each other to survive and keep hope alive. Art very impressive

This museum shows the horror of war through the eyes of those that experienced it. It also starts to show how people attempted to survive.

it is quite interesting but there is a lot of written material to go through. I did like the exhibition of childrens pictures and the exhibition of adult paintings showed the real dark side to the Terezin area, I just wish I had a bit more time to spend there.

I visited here 5 years ago, we could have visited with a tour group but decided to arrange our own way there by using the local metro in Prague to the bus station and going on the local bus which took around an hour to reach Terezin we did this for half the price of what a guided tour was charging, we spent most of our day here, would definetly visit again with children

Plan a sensible amount of time here if you can, we went as part of a tour and it wasn't long enough really, although I would recommend a guide as there is so much to learn about here that you cannot get from just walking around. There is a lot to appreciate here, the museums history, the children whose paintings are exhibited there, their lives and the history of Terezin for everyone from the original residents of the town, its evolution under Nazi rule to it's present day. There is a short movie in the Theatre upstairs, visit it, it starts with a propaganda movie the Nazis made and then shows you what it was really like!We bought a comprehensive history book called The Terezin Ghetto by Ludmila Chladkova which gives an interesting overview of what happened there and is worth buying if you don't get to have a guide or run short of time.

Very well promoted and kept museum. Propaganda movie Nazis made is possible to see in very comfortable theatre.

We visited Terezin Concentration Camp/Ghetto, including the museum, crematory, and small fortress. While I knew the basics of the camp - former town, way station to other camps, spruced up to be a "model" for the Red Cross visit - I had not appreciated that it was an already existing fortress and prison built in the 18th century. The museum was very good, with many exhibits explaining the creation of the camp, the "final" solution, and day to day life in the camp. It is an excellent reminder of what occurred in the camps the Nazi's created. It showed another view of the story we told at Dachau and Auschwitz, other camps we have visited in the past.

The movie is short and sweet, take it in. Good description of what the children went through but the best was the exhibits up stairs. This was excellent. Descriptions of other camps, WW2 descriptions as wall as other artifacts.

In Ghetto museum you don't need a guide. You just slowly and quietly follow the exhibition. It is very well maintained. On the wall before you reach the first floor you'll keep staring at drawings of one little girl with name Helga as well as at wall full of children names. There is more movies then only propaganda documentary! History movie over 30 min. long will give you deep info about Terezin.

Find out when the movie plays in English and check it out! We were glad we did! For us it was around 12:30. Not sure what other languages it offers.

After visiting the small compound we went here. We only had forty minutes in the museum which was not enough time. There is a lot of reading to be done inside. I was pleased that some of the information had already been repeated by the other guide at Terezin.

A catalog of the sober history of the town of Terezin and of what happened in the camp nearby.The depth and breadth of the the collection and the quality of the presentation is remarkable.Take some time to linger here................and remember.

It's funny that this is listed separately from Terezin in the list of attractions in Terezin because this is really the heart of the whole place. Even if you think you know a lot about the Holocaust, this museum is incredibly educational and accessible for English speakers. It lays out the story of events leading up to the creation of this ghetto, the experiences (and incredible art, writing, and music) of people within the ghetto, and how this ghetto fits into the larger story of the Holocaust. You hear the number 6 million and it just doesn't sink in somehow, or at least it didn't for me. But you stare at names and faces and belongings and drawings in this one place and it begins to have some real texture. Absolutely moving and enriching and, as a human being, worth every moment you can spend here.

In this museum visitors just walk around looking at long pages of writing with some photos. it is just a history book laid out in display cases essentially. If Holocaust history is a huge interest to you, then worth the visit, otherwise, skip it.

give your self plenty of time as there is so much to read about and take in it was most enlightening.
