School Excursions to Terezín

Dear Friends,

we are glad to invite you to visit Terezín, a place which is to serve as permanent reminder of the bitter fate of the prisoners and the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. We are convinced that this visit will animate the participants to reflect on the ongoing issues of extremism and racial, national and religious intolerance. However, before visiting, we do recommend you to familiarize yourself and your group with the topic of the Final Solution through prior study in class or through reading.

We recommend field trips to Terezín starting for students in high/middle school in their 7th year of education or above. Trips of several days duration are recommended for those in their 8th or 9th year of education.

In applications for grants for one day visits, please mention:

• dates of the visit

• class
• number of participants

In applications for grants for longer visits, please mention:

• date of visit
• school, organization
• class, year
• number of participants
• project description (title, contents, person in charge)
• preparation the participants have undergone

Please send an invoice for the program completed issued by your school, as confirmed by the  Terezín Memorial as well as copies of the original invoices to: Terezínská iniciativa, Maiselova 18, 110 00 Praha 1.
