The pair of bronze sculptures the park in in front of the museum building fits in with the artist's other contemporary work. A prominent feature of the emaciated men is the roughly sculpted surface of the statues. The existential message is enhanced in the case of the walking Martyr by the body with missing arms, leaning as if it was about to collapse. The second figure of the Pilgrim supporting himself with a long staff emphasizes the moment of stopping and contemplation. The matching dark colours of both figures fit in well in the park in front of the museum building. Both the Pilgrim (209 cm tall) and the Martyr (183.5 cm tall) rest on subtle rectangular platforms. The sculptures are included in the collections of the Terezín Memorial under the inventory numbers PT 14143 and PT 13964.

The sculptures in front of the present museum building in the Terezín Small Fortress can serve as a reminder of Jiří Sozanský's work with the Terezín Memorial. This began with an exhibition of the author's sculptures in the first courtyard in April 1976, less than three years after the author graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. After several creative stays (together with Ivan Bukovský) at the Terezín Memorial, his work culminated in the summer of 1980 with a three-month symposium. At its end, in addition to Sozanský, Zdeněk Beran, Ivan Bukovský, Ivan Dolejšek, Lubomír Janečka, Petr Kovář and Oldřich Kulhánek participated in a collective presentation of the works. After November 1989, this collaboration was renewed, which included the restoration of the exhibition Terezín ´80 in 1991, participation in the collective exhibition Witnesses and Victims in 1996 and monographic exhibitions in 2006. The sculptures, now located by the access road to the museum in the Small Fortress, were originally cast in tin in the early 1990s, but after they were damaged by the floods of 2002, they were cast in bronze and installed in their current form in the 2000s.
