Terezin Synagogue

The Terezin Synagogue is the only remaining "secret synagogue" in the Czech Republic. This prayer room of modest dimensions was created by Artur Berlinger, a German religious master and artist imprisoned in Terezin from 1942 until his deportation to Auschwitz in the autumn of 1944. Meanwhile, Berlinger created the prayer room in an old storage space and regularly organized religious services there. The room retains the original painted decoration.
