Open Days in Jáchymova
The house in which the former Jewish school in Jáchymova Prague 1 had been situated, is located close the Old Town Square and has a rich but forgotten history.
Starting at the end of 2013 we organized open days every year to make people aware of our building, which mostly contains offices and several important organizations like the "Terezín Initiaitive", "Hidden Child", the "Terezín Initiative Institute" and its library, the library of Prague´s Jewish Community and a sheltered workshop called Becalel.
Open day in Jáchymova 2014
The second year of the Open day and ceremonial opening of the exhibition.
The 1st open day in the building, which used to be a Jewish school, in Jáchymova Street, Prague 1, included a meeting with former pupils.
It includes an invitation to Yom HaShoah in Prague and other cities in the Czech Republic, an article on the 30th anniversary of ITI and information about our many activities:
- Commemoration at Auschwitz-Birkenau
- The MemoMap exhibition: History of the Holocaust in Prague
- International cooperation
- Anne Frank Youth Network
- MemoGIS Workshop
- Austrian Traces in Terezín
This year's 19th annual public reading of the names of Holocaust victims, "Yom HaShoah", will take place on 6 May 2024. The names of victims of Nazi persecution will be read in 31 cities across the Czech Republic, commemorating the fate of those who were murdered during the Second World War.
About a month ago, we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Terezín Initiative Institute at the invitation of Austrian Ambassador Bettina Kirnbauer. Till Janzer from Radio Prague International also reported on the event. You can read or listen to the article under the following link (only in German).
We would like to invite you to an educational workshop called "Art Against Death", which we are organizing. This workshop will take place on April 13, 2024 from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm in Prague.
The latest Anne Frank Youth Network action project is complete!
In September 1943, five thousand Jews from the so-called Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia were transported from the Terezín concentration camp to the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp in two transports for reasons that have not yet been made clear.
