''Dear Pavel, We would like to thank you for the instructive tour. Your intellectual and emotional involvement in the Terezin tragedy is so exciting. You have tremendous talent as a teacher for such an uneasy visit.

We hope to meet you again during one of your visits to Israel and would love to stand to your right in whatever you want."

Terezin ghetto/camp tour
Itinerary

To see all the significant sites of the Terezín Ghetto, one would need to spend at least three full days in the town. Our tours focus on Jewish history but do not follow a strict itinerary. Each tour is slightly different, shaped by the interests of our visitors and the intuition of our experts. We usually include key sites such as the Ghetto Museum, the Hidden Synagogue, and the Children's Barracks. The rest of the program remains flexible, based on the intuition of our colleagues or the specific requests of visitors, allowing for deeper exploration and meaningful discussion.

  • What to expect

Our team presents the Terezín Ghetto as a missing link in Holocaust education, offering insight that goes far beyond the standard narrative. Our tours are designed for visitors seeking a meaningful, historically rich, and in-depth understanding of Terezín.


Pavel Batel typically leads our semi-private tours or private tours upon request, depending on availability and logistics. An experience with Pavel is best suited for those with a interest in historical details - his tours often take the form of an academic-style lecture.


To make this important history accessible to a wider audience, Pavel has personally curated and trained a dedicated team of expert guides who share his commitment to accuracy, sensitivity, and education. For visitors who prefer a more relaxed or introductory approach, we warmly recommend booking a tour with one of our team members.


Whichever option you choose, our mission remains the same: to provide respectful and insightful education of Terezín's history.
