VR Movie: Small Fortress at Terezín

In the opening view, the door marked 18 is the entrance to the camp mortuary. To the left, doorway number 17 leads the contemporary visitor through a long passage on the way to the place of execution. (This passageway was not, however, used during World War II.) Further to the left, the freestanding building marked 16 was the hospital. Hundreds of prisoners died here. The arched doorway an the end of the bridge leads to the main part of the fortress. The distant doorway on the right at the end of the narrow strip of grass was known as the "Gate of Death" since it led to the place of execution.
