Terezin, a former military fortress in what is now the Czech Republic, was notably transformed into a ghetto and concentration camp during World War II, where thousands of Jews were held before being deported to extermination camps. After the war, the town remained a symbol of Holocaust remembrance and served various purposes, including a military base and a site for memorials. Throughout the subsequent decades, Terezin became a focal point for Holocaust education and commemoration, with efforts to preserve its historical significance. By the 1990s, it had evolved into a prominent site for memorials and museums dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust.
