Terezin Ghetto/Camp: Exclusive Semi-Private Tour
Things to know
About the Activity
Pavel Batel is a dedicated teacher-historian specializing in the role of Terezin in the Holocaust. Ongoing research involving visiting archives, and interviewing survivors (49 documented interviews) is essential to work as a messenger of the past. He is a captivating storyteller and author of three historical fiction. Two of them are focusing on the untold stories of Terezin's heroes. Professors from world-prestigious universities travel to the Czech Republic to experience Pavel's deep knowledge of the Terezin subject, as the director of the Historical Department at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, prof. Yuval or Izraeli holocaust historian, prof. Florence Luxemburg-Isenberg. For the full experience, we also recommend taking Prague's Jewish Quarter tour with our team member, Jewish activist, and Charles University graduate of Jewish studies, Yvonne Weisgrab.6 hours
