There are many things to see in Terezin including the Ghetto Museum, the Magdeburg Barracks and the small Fortress to mention a few.

The Ghetto museum was the former school that served during the war as a boy’s home. The exhibitions include the 2nd World War about Terezin, the Children’s Drawings and the movies in the cinema.

The Magdeburg barracks was a seat of the Council of Elders and the Jewish self-administration. Today it houses a meeting Centre and an attic theatre, and visitors can see both a replica of a dormitory of the time of the ghetto (the survived people offered their private things that they kept from time of the war to exhibit them there) and a permanent exhibition devoted to various spheres of cultural activities in the ghetto.

The Small Fortress was built as a part of the fortification system. It was used from the beginning as a prison where apart from the soldiers, many people related to the nationalist-liberation struggles were jailed in the 19th century.

Between 1945 and 1948 it served as a detention camp for the Czech Germans expelled from Czechoslovakia. Today it is a museum and tour and it is well worth a visit.
