Terezín

Terezín (German: Theresienstadt) is the name of a former military fortress and garrison town in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. After the war, Theresienstadt was resurrected as Terezín, still retaining a military garrison. The army left the city in 1996, which had a negative impact on the local economy. Terezín is still trying to decouple from its military past and become a modern, vibrant town. The city was damaged by floods in 2002 (see pictures). Terezín is noted for its production of furniture and knitwear as well as for manufacturing. Area Code:
