B	Barby Barby on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lots of history. Most of the things are still in the original state, very sad but it's a reality that shouldn't be forgotten. I would recommend to visit this place and see it it's totally differently what you see in the movie.
D	Daniel Woodul on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very well preserved memorial and museum to the tragedies and attrocities committed before and during WWII. A quite place in the winter and late in the day before closing, too late for a tour but walked the grounds and could follow information from a guide pamphlet retrieved from the bookstore. Interesting to the history of this one time fortress converted to prison and concentration camp is the fact it housed Gavrilo Princip after his June 28, 1914 assassination of the Austrian Archduke - his cell has a light installed and there is a plaque outside indicating which it is. This is certainly an important place to visit when travelling in the area.
A	Adria Lawson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a very sad place. We were able to get a guide to takes us from Praga. We drove for about one hr. We were able to enter the rooms and walk in the grounds. This was a forced labor camp, where people were worked to death making war supplies for the Nazis until they either died or were sent by train to the other camps to be executed. Over 100 per day died in Terezin due to overwork, malnutrition, or one of the epidemics which spread easily in this hellhole. The death rate was so high that they had the prisoners build an on-site crematorium for over 20,000 who died there. The smells are strong, the floors and walls have stains which evoke the stench of the victims blood, sweat and tears. You cannot keep from crying when you read the poems and letters written by the youngest prisoners. Note: many parts of Terezin are not wheelchair-accessible. There are public restrooms.
K	Kelly Parrott on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a valuable experience to take the opportunity to see whilst in Prague. It is a well maintained historical compound, and the tour round explains the use of each building and the realistic conditions at the time. If you visit on a day trip from Prague, unfortunately you do not get enough time to go round the museum and fully explore the grounds.
D	Dennis Roks on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ visited it for many times and this year for the first time with the kids. very emotional and impressive. entrance fee is a fraction of what you are about to see! DOGS NOT ALLOWED! also visit the crematorium , also impressive and free entrance
G	Greg Martin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My father and I did this the trip out to the concentration camp and the experience itself was quite eye opening just trying to place yourself in the shoes of what the people went though during this time. It was a humbling experience to say the least. The families lost, children that grew up never knowing their mothers and fathers as well as how the jews in particular were treated. The fact that this was allowed to happen and that people can do this is still something that is beyond me. A must do day trip if in Prague
S	Saurabh Ray on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Don't take this 5 star rating to be a rating that one normally gives out to other places. This is a death camp that has a very dark history associated to it. The 5 star rating is for the staff that has maintained this place. 60 kms outside of Prague, this is a must visit place. Especially for the WW2 history buffs. This place will stir your emotions.
M	Maximilian Shakal on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sad, but necessary reminder of what has happened in fairly recent history We had an English guide and would strongly recommend asking for this. He was very knowledgeable about the area and encouraged questions. Parking is in a lot down the road and was 10Kc.
