Start with the context
Photos, documents and personal information are part of what is described. The museum’s explanations help you connect individual lives with the place, without reducing people to numbers.
Visiting the site
According to the visitor information, admission also includes a shuttle bus and an audio tour. Use that commentary to understand what is visible on the site and what context is still needed.
Different periods
The memorial centre also covers the different functions the site has had. Note which period a text or object relates to; that distinction helps you follow the stories carefully.
Before you go
Check the maintenance closure after the Christmas holidays and the current accessibility. During periods of school visits, the centre advises individual visitors to come in the afternoon.
