Lidice and Terezín: An Educational Day Trip of Holocaust history from Prague

This visit is essential to understanding the complicated history that unfolded in Czechoslovakia in 1941 when the region’s thousand-year-old Jewish communities were deported through Terezín to death camps elsewhere.

This tour will start with a Hotel pick-up in the morning (8 am).On the way to Lidice (30 minutes), I will talk about the history of the Czech Republic and what it was like during the occupation in WW2, and the tragic fate of the Jews in former Czechoslovakia and Eastern Europe.

We will be driving around the site where Reinhard Heydrich was assassinated by members of the Czech resistance. Once in Lidice, we will have a comprehensive tour of the site and visit the local museum and the emotional memorial for those who perished. We will then take a short drive to Terezin (35 minutes). Upon arriving in Terezin, firstly we will visit the Large Fortress and the Terezín Museum. Afterwards, there is the Magdeburg Barracks, the hidden Synagogue, the Jewish cemetery, the Menorah monument, and a visit to the crematorium. Lastly, we will go into the Small Fortress to spend time exploring the Gestapo prison, the single and mass cells, and a secret tunnel that most visitors do not get to see (with a local guide).

Please note there is no official lunch break on this tour. I recommend a packed lunch or a quick stop at a bakery before we leave the city.

Fascinating Prague Jewish Quarter Half-Day Private Walking Tour

I am a very enthusiastic guide that loves her job! As early as the 10th century, Jewish settlers had moved into Prague. Prague (and Czechoslovakia) was once home to the largest population of Ashkenazi Jews anywhere in the world and although nowadays the population is very small – officially the Prague Jewish Community has about 1500 members – the Jewish community left a significant mark on the city.

We’ll see 4 well-preserved synagogues, including the oldest anywhere north of the Alps. You will also visit the Old Jewish Cemetery, where up to 12 layers of graves lie atop one another; and where you will find the resting place of Rabbi Loew, renowned in legend as the creator of the Golem. Prague is home to the largest collection of Judaica in the world and there is no other collection of historical Jewish artifacts like it anywhere in the world. This is the only Jewish Quarter that the Nazis purposely did not destroy.
