Crematorium in Terezín cemetery, Crematorium at Jewish cemetery in Terezín, Czech Republic

The Terezín camp crematorium stands south of the town walls on the left bank of the Ohře, near the Jewish cemetery in the Bohušovice basin. It was built by the Nazis and put into operation on 7 September 1942, after about 9,000 people had already been buried in the cemetery. Its columbarium was set into the massive walls of the fortress fortification.

The camp crematorium was put into operation by the Nazis on 7 September 1942 south of Terezín's walls, in the Bohušovice basin on the left bank of the Ohře. About 9,000 people had first been buried in individual and mass graves there, forming a large Jewish cemetery, before the crematorium was built. It burned the dead of the Terezín ghetto and the Prague Gestapo prison in the Small Fortress, and until April 1945 also prisoners from the Litoměřice camp.

The site is administered by the state institution Památník Terezín, and the former crematorium holds a permanent exhibition titled Úmrtnost a pohřebívání v terezínském ghettu (Mortality and Burial in the Terezín Ghetto). In the antechamber, a stone from a Jerusalem quarry was dedicated to Holocaust victims by Israeli President Chaim Herzog in 1991; an identical stone with Polish text stands at Auschwitz I.
