From Archives to the Streets
Overview of our work from expert-led guided tours to research and private travel services.
Research and Survivor testimonies
Over the last two decades, we have recorded more than 30 first-hand testimonies from survivors of Terezín, Auschwitz, and other camps—many of them shared exclusively with us. Our research examines the Terezín Ghetto, as well as Jewish communal life, 19th-century nationalism, and the development of modern antisemitism.

Lectures and Education
We offer educational programs for universities, community organizations, and educators from Holocaust museums. To support this work, we have established the Batel Institute for Jewish History, dedicated to renewing Holocaust education by fully integrating the story of Terezín. The Institute is actively seeking funding to develop new programs, publish research, and make our survivor testimonies accessible to the public.
Lectures
Tours and Excursions
We offer high-quality tours focused on Jewish heritage, including the Jewish Quarter and Terezín (also available in a semi-private format). Our trusted team also provides general sightseeing in Prague and full-day excursions such as Český Krumlov, Karlovy Vary, or Kutná Hora. We avoid mass tourism, offering personal tours led by knowledgeable guides.
All tours
Our team and colleagues
Founded by Pavel Batel, expert on the Terezín Ghetto, and Yvonne Penkavová, specialist in Prague’s Jewish history, our team brings together guides, academics, and top service professionals. We adapt our approach to each visitor — from families of survivors seeking in-depth historical insight to guests looking for a lighter cultural or sightseeing experience.
