Terezin Fortress, Terezin, Czechia
This balcony is attached to a building in the Terezin Fortress aka the Small Fortress. During World War II, the fortress served as a prison for the Prague Gestapo from 10 June 1940 until May 1945. Unlike the Terezín Ghetto, where the Jews were imprisoned, the Small Fortress served as a prison for the political opponents of the Nazi German regime, Czech resistance members, some British POWs, and other people from the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, France, Italy etc. Throughout the operation of the Gestapo prison, around 32,000 people (including 5,000 women) were incarcerated here.
The Small Fortress had the character of a transitional prison, from which the prisoners were gradually sent to concentration camps. Around 2,600 prisoners were killed in the fortress through hunger, torture and poor hygiene. Thousands died after being transported from Terezín to concentration camps and elsewhere.
The purpose of the balcony room above is unclear, but it contained several plants and a microscope. However, it is hard to imagine that it was used to improve the lives of the inmates.
Thirty years after the peaceful anti-communist revolution, the Czech Republic has fallen into the deepest moral decay. The nation is being dismembered by a pack of corrupt political leaders, and faith is once again becoming a way of escaping the lies of everyday life.

The pommel horse (also side horse) is an artistic gymnastics apparatus. Traditionally, it is used by only male gymnasts. Originally made of a metal frame with a wooden body and a leather cover, modern pommel horses have a metal body covered with foam rubber and leather, with plastic handles (or pommels).
The Iron Curtain formed the imaginary boundary dividing Europe into two separate areas from the end of World War II in 1945 until the end of the Cold War in 1991. The term symbolized efforts by the Soviet Union to block itself and its satellite states from open contact with the West and non-Soviet-controlled areas. On the east side of the Iron Curtain were the countries that were connected to or influenced by the Soviet Union.
At the Czech and also at the Bavarian side of the border, one can find many discontinued barracks. These Czech barracks are near Furth im Wald.
