History/Provenance
On April 18, 1942, 909 Jews of České Budějovice were deported to the ghetto camp of Theresienstadt (Terezín). Of the approximately 1,200 Jews that lived in České Budějovice prior to 1939, very few survived the ghetto camp of Terezín or their subsequent deportations to Auschwitz.
The monument was erected in 1950 by the Jewish community, which continued to exist in the city until the 1970s.
