Beit Terezin

The museum building contains exhibition halls, archives, and offices arranged around a central courtyard displaying artifacts from Theresienstadt concentration camp.

The institution opened in 1975 following initiatives by Theresienstadt survivors who gathered informally in Israel starting from May 1955.

The permanent exhibition presents documents, photographs, and artwork created by prisoners, illustrating daily life in the Theresienstadt ghetto between 1941 and 1945.

Visitors can access the comprehensive archive containing 162,000 indexed records of Jewish prisoners from multiple European countries for genealogical research.

The building design by Theresienstadt survivor Albin Glaser features a central rotunda that references the concentration camp's architecture.
