[ A PERSONAL INVITATION ]
Two places. Two tragedies. Thousands of individual stories.
At Terezín, we’ll explore the former Jewish ghetto, memorial sites and the Small Fortress — the Gestapo prison where political prisoners, resistance fighters and ordinary civilians were interrogated and imprisoned.
Terezín and Lidice tell very different stories of Nazi persecution and occupation.
At Lidice, we’ll discover the story of a village destroyed by the Nazis in retaliation for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich.
But behind these historical events were individual people and families. Their stories are at the heart of this journey.

A NOTE FROM NATALIA
These places are not only about what happened. They are also about why remembering what happened still matters.
Throughout the day, I want to connect the larger historical events with the experiences of ordinary people caught within them.
Together, we’ll explore stories of persecution and loss, but also courage, resistance and survival — while approaching both memorial sites with the respect they deserve.

[ THE EXPERIENCE ]
Two places that reveal different sides of Nazi occupation and persecution.
We begin in Terezín, which was used by the Nazis as a Jewish ghetto, transit camp and propaganda tool. Behind its walls, thousands of Jewish prisoners lived in overcrowded conditions while the outside world was shown a carefully staged illusion.
We’ll visit the former ghetto, museum and memorial sites, as well as the Small Fortress — the former Gestapo prison where political prisoners, resistance fighters and ordinary civilians were interrogated and imprisoned.

Terezín — persecution, imprisonment & propaganda.
Through the places we visit and individual stories, we’ll explore what life in Terezín meant and how the Nazis attempted to use the ghetto to deceive the outside world about the reality of their persecution of European Jews.
Lidice — destruction, resistance & remembrance.
In Lidice, we encounter a different story. In June 1942, the village was destroyed by the Nazis in retaliation for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. The men were executed, the women deported to concentration camps and the children taken away. Today, the memorial and Children’s Memorial preserve the memory of the village and its people.
[ MORE THAN SIGHTSEEING ]
Understanding history through the people who experienced it.
This journey is not only about tragedy.
Through Terezín and Lidice, we’ll explore persecution, propaganda, resistance, survival and Nazi reprisals — while connecting the larger history of the occupation with the lives of ordinary people caught within it.
The aim is not simply to visit two historical sites, but to understand their stories and the importance of preserving their memory.
