Terezin
Executions of prisoners in the Small Fortress began in 1943. A total of 250 to 300 prisoners were shot dead without a court sentence. The biggest execution took place on May 2, 1945. As many as 52 people, mostly members of the Czech resistance groups (e.g. Predvoj or Vanguard) were killed. The gallows were used just once for the hanging of 3 prisoners. A passageway through the embankment leads to the mass graves.
