On the way to Prague

Terezin Detention Camp

The entrance sign

"On the way to Prague we were stopped at the Germany/Czech Republic border
and I got the first stamp of my trip!! - yay!!
They don't stop you in EU countries so I haven't got any others
We then stopped at a place called Terazin which was a camp during the Second World War
No one was gassed there but lots of people died from the condiitions
The cramped living quarters and communal showers and gallows were pretty dreadful
It mostly held political prisoners and the camp commander was held there after liberation
before being put to death"
