information about czech-republic  TerezinCzech Republic
To be caught between the two high brick walls surrounding the prison was instant death for prisoners attempting to escape from Terezin. The walls and both fortresses were built by order of Austro-Hungarian Emperor Joseph II in 1780-90 and named after his mother Empress Maria Theresa ( ironically a rabid anti-Semite ). As garrison towns became obsolete as a military option, the forts lay little used until rediscovered by Reinhard Heyrich and the Nazis, for use as both a prison and a concentration camp.
