Overview

We were staying at nearby Hof Van Saksen and decided to visit this place based on other reviews. We arrived to a discrete building situated in a wood just off the road. A lady on the desk explained how the museum was set out and the best way to go around the exhibitions. We were provided with an English translation of all the exhibitions. There were a variety of videos, pictures and examples of what went on in the camp. A model of one of the barracks showing 3 tier bunk beds and how many were in it. Videos from the war showing the Jewish people arriving and leaving. Letters from various people. It all made very interesting reading. The next 'exhibition' was telling about how the children were separated from the parents and the letters they wrote were arranged in chronological order.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

Lots of interactive displays and videos. outside there is a fully accessible bus that transfers you to the actual camp location where you can walk or follow a guided tour. Very thought provoking and definitely worth a repeat visit. Allow 4 -6 hours for the full experience
