Crematorium in Terezín cemetery
Crematorium in Terezín cemetery, Crematorium at Jewish cemetery in Terezín, Czech Republic
The crematorium building stands at the eastern edge of the Jewish cemetery, featuring a central memorial hall and technical facilities for cremation operations.
The crematorium began operations on September 7, 1942, when the Bohušovice basin graves could no longer accommodate the increasing number of deceased ghetto inmates.
The memorial site includes an Avenue of Nations in the southeastern cemetery section, representing different nationalities affected during World War II.
The crematorium memorial opens daily from 8:00 to 18:00 during summer and 8:00 to 16:30 in winter, with guided tours available upon request.
In November 1944, the ashes of approximately 22,000 victims were forcibly discarded into the Ohře River under SS command.
