This site is quite far away from the small fortress but it is well worth seeing. The small exhibit in the crematorium is free to visit and gives an excellent overview of the cemetery and its history. The grounds of the cemetery are not big but are worth walking through slowly once you know the history of the area. Some parts have had to be restored since a flood in 2002. There are memorial candles available here for 5 kc that can be lit inside the crematorium.

On the initiative of the newly created Czechoslovak government, in 1947 the National Suffering Memorial was opened on the site of the suffering of tens of thousands; it was later on renamed the Terezin Memorial. The key mission of the Terezin Memorial, the only institution of its kind in the Czech Republic, is to commemorate the victims of the Nazi political and racial persecution during the occupation of the Czech lands in World War II, to promote museum, research and educational activities, and look after the memorial sites connected with the suffering and death of dozens of thousands of victims of violence.

Visiting Terezin is a worthwhile trip out of the old town of Prague. We went by public transport (finding the correct busstop at the right metro station was challenging; at time if our visit it was busstop 7 at the back of the metro station Nadrazi Holesovice (red metro line); this regional bus is not covered by the day pass for Prague public transport but we could buy a ticket directly from the driver). After about an hour drive, the bus stops close to either the Small Fortress or the Ghetto Museum; either could be a good start and everything is within walking distance. We did a guided tour at the Small Fortress which gave the whole place some context. We explored the museum and barracks by ourselves; we saw some guided tours rushing passed us and were glad we had more time to actually read the displays to understand more - the guided tours did not seem to spend much time in there. The columbarium just outside of the main centre was worthwhile a visit; we did not have enough time to walk to the crematorium (I guess we had seen enough to get a picture of what occured in WW2 but if we didn’t have to catch the bus back, we would have liked to go there so it’s worthwhile considering when you plan your day). There was a very small cafe in the museum; the food & drink choices were very limited but the man serving us was vey welcoming! It was a funny experience in a day filled with quite sad stories.
