Friday Field Trip

A little rewind to Friday the 11th: our USAC group went out to explore Lidice, Litoměřice, and Terezín.

The itinerary: 
  • Visit to the memorial in Lidice, a village destroyed by the Nazis in 1942.
  • Lunch and sightseeing in Litoměřice, a former royal town and cultural centre of the Sudeten German community in Bohemia.
  • Visit to the former Jewish Ghetto in Terezín: Crematorium, Hidden Synagogue, The Railway Tracks – remains of deportation station, the Magdeburg Barracks –museum of life and art of the Ghetto
  • Guided tour through the Gestapo prison - the Small Fortress Terezín

The creamatorium

Remnants of the railroad track where Jews were shipped to other concentration camps


The showers...

The "Death Tunnel" 
Jews were walked through this, not even blindfolded, lined up and shot on the other side


How far away the Nazi soldiers were from their targets
