History must always be remembered. A visit to the Small Fortress is therefore the duty of every contemporary citizen. I have been here several times and this time with a perfect interpretation. The small fortress is a distinctive part of the city of Terezín and is located on the right bank of the Ohra. From its beginnings, it served primarily as a prison. It was probably the most famous and at the same time the saddest prison from 1940 to 1945, when it belonged to the Prague Gestapo.

Many of the dead lying here contracted typhus shortly before the end of the war and died due to the hygienic conditions.
