Beit Theresienstadt at Kibbutz Givat Chaym Ichud
was erected in memory of the Jews of Ghetto Theresienstadt who perished
during the Nazi persecution.
The corner stone was laid in 1969 and the official
opening was in 1975.
The "Theresienstadt Martyrs Remembrance Association"
built this edifice through the initiative of the surviving members
of the Zionist Youth Movement and the "Hechalutz" organization living
in Israel.
Not a mute monument but a living and active institution.
