Terezín: Making history conscious
The route of the EPR 2022 led, among other things, through the small community of Terezín.
From 1941 to 1945, under German occupation, the entire place was a ghetto for people from all over Europe who were persecuted as Jews. Cruelty and hunger prevailed under the Nazi regime. Terezín (also called Theresienstadt) was a transit camp from which 150,000 people were transported to the extermination camps in the east, many of them directly to their death. In order to deceive the world public about the crimes committed there, a perfidious "beautification campaign" was carried out and a propaganda film was made.
After 1945, only the history of communist persecution in the Small Fortress was initially the focus of memory. The commemoration of the victims of the Nazi regime in this Jewish ghetto only began after 1991.
Pausing in Terezín and becoming aware of its history in German-Czech relations was an important aim of the European Peace Ride 2022.
