Institut Theresienstädter Initiative
Institut Terezínské iniciativy
The Terezín Initiative Institute is a non-profit organisation that originates from the Terezín Initiative Foundation (Nadace Terezínská iniciativa) that was founded in 1993 by an international association of former prisoners of the Terezín ghetto - the Terezín Initiative.
The aim of the Institute is to pursue and support research of the history of the “final solution” in Bohemia and Moravia and the history of Terezín ghetto, and to present the results to a broader public. The Institute, along with other organizations, wants to make Terezín a place of encounter and discussion between people of different generations and nationalities, and political, philosophical and religious beliefs. Another focus of the Institute is to influence the Czech education system in order to bring the knowledge of the history of anti-Semitism and the Final Solution closer to pupils and students of all types of Czech schools. The Institute has established contacts with a number of foreign organizations of similar orientation, for example in Israel, the USA, Germany and Austria, and cooperates with them in the realization of its projects, first of all in the efforts to create a complete documentation of the names and fates of the Terezín prisoners.
