Terezin Concentration Camp

This was my first visit to a concentration camp, but it wasn't really the typical concentration camp that you think of from Poland. Terezin is in the Czech Republic and it didn't have gas chambers and ginormous crematoriums it was mainly a holding facility until the people kept there were sent to a place like Auschwitz. But the people there were treated like any other concentration camp. Terezin was a getto and if people used foreign currency or tried to escape or spoke out that's when they were sent inside the "work camp" area. The facility used to house the Jews and prisoners of war was used as a prison during the Austrian empire before the germens occupied it.
