Terezín Memorial Books
The aim of the edition of Terezín Memorial Books is to record names and fates of all Terezín prisoners and to keep the memory of meaninglessly wasted human lives. Publishing of the memorial books has become possible thanks the database where data for more than 150 thousand Terezín prisoners are being collected. Entries for tens of thousand deported Jews document the extent and perversity of the final solution of the Jewish question
and stand for a symbolical gravestone of people whose only guilt was their Jewish origin.

This year's Yom HaShoah also includes the exhibition MemoMap: the History of the Holocaust in Prague. It will be on display in the outdoor spaces of the Klementinum from Monday, May 6 (Yom HaShoah), until Sunday, May 19, 2024.
In 16 panels, the exhibition shows how the space of Prague was reduced, for those who were identified as Jews, in response to the Protectorate's issuance of anti-Jewish decrees. The orders and regulations led to the creation of invisible barriers that prevented contact between Jewish and non-Jewish residents of Prague even before Jews were called to transports and deported to concentration camps.
On Tuesday, the director of the Terezín Initiative Institute, Tomáš Kraus, accompanied German Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier on his walk through Prague. The topics of the cordial conversation included the past and present of the Czech Jewish community, the literary legacy of Franz Kafka, the Musica Non Grata project and, last but not least, the activities of the ITI.
