The Beit Theresienstadt Courtyard
Beit Theresienstadt is located at the heart of Kibbutz Givat Haim Ihud. Centered around a small courtyard are the museum’s exhibitions, archives, and offices. The building housing the historical exhibition is architecturally unique. Built in the early 1970s, it was designed by architect Albin Glaser, a survivor of the ghetto.
Encounter of Survivors
In September 2022, an encounter was held at Beit Theresienstadt for survivors of the ghetto. Former inmates arrived from all over the country for this heartfelt encounter. Riveting conversations took place around the tables, giving voice to memories and stories from the Holocaust period and otherwise.
Class Activity
Students engaged in an activity at the exhibition “Dancing on the Edge of a Volcano”.
Laying the Cornerstone
On September 29, 1969, the cornerstone of Beit Theresienstadt was laid in a festive ceremony, in the presence of members of the association and other honored guests. The foundation scroll signed by the founders was also placed in the ground, together with the cornerstone.
