My research had informed me that Terezìn was a town on the German-Czech border that the Nazis constructed a ghetto and prison camp around. Not only was it a place to abuse innocent victims and later send them to camps, but it was advertised by the media as a resort hotel where Jews and workers would find opportunity and live comfortably, luxuriously, and happily. Obviously, this was not true; it was used as a trick to lure Jews into internment and would soon end most of their lives. At Terezìn, we were met by our tour guide Michaela.
