The Concentration Camp Térezin

When we left Prague early the next morning, our first stop was Térezin, a German Concentration Camp in the Czech Republic. It was reported that when the International Red Cross confronted the SS about Térezin, they said it was a "Jewish town". But it was anything but a Jewish town. It was a cruel place of humiliation and death. We witnessed the shooting stations where the German soldiers laid on the ground and executed the prisoners. To the right was also a gallows station where others were hung to to their death.  Upon exiting we observed thousands of graves for Jews and Gentiles with a huge cross as well as the Jewish star marking the sacred site.

We drove the rest of the day to reach our last stop. I was not able to get to bed before 1 am because of all the images that lingered in my mind.
