Prayer room from the Terezín ghetto period and replica of attic

During research into the attics in the same building that housed the prayer room, the remains of an example of what were called kumbáleks was discovered. These were small spaces in attics converted into emergency accommodation. Though small, they provided at least some privacy in comparison with the mass barracks in which the majority of ghetto internees lived. Fortunately the kumbálek referred to was never rebuilt, so it was possible in 2012 to restore it to a form similar to that which it possessed in the days of the ghetto.
