Deported Czech Jews
working as conscripted laborers
in Estonia
I haven't yet been to Terezin, the concentration camp that is frequently visited by Prague tourists as a day trip out of the city. If there is one experience that tells the story of Czech Jews, visiting Terezin and seeing it for oneself has been the single event that most people interested in Czech history have experienced.Now a new and intensively-researched film documents the little-known stories of what happened to Czech Jews during the Holocaust. Filmmaker Lukas Pribyl, is a project obviously close to his heart due to his family's history, has culled photos from survivors and relatives of both sides of the story to create a photographic narrative of what happened for us to see almost as if we were there.
To read more about his new film, click on my title to access the story in the New York Times. Does anyone know if it's been shown in Prague yet? Have you seen it?

You should definitely get to Terezin! I won't say it is very nice, but it is an experience!
Hi Karen - agree entirely with Annuca. It is a sobering experience to visit Terezin but very educative and worthwhile. See my post (if you allow the link!) http://rickyyates.com/terezin/
