The names of 100 Jewish victims of the Terezin transit camp were read aloud in the Czech town as part of an annual ceremony commemorating some 35,000 Jews who died there between 1941 and 1945. The event, which was held for the first time in 1991, will continue until the last of the 35,000 names are read out in the year 2340.
