Plan your visit ↗

A space for remembrance

A visit calls for a different pace than an ordinary museum tour. Give the memorial space your attention and be considerate of others who come here out of a personal connection.

Context for the site

The accompanying information links the site to persecution and deportation. Take time for individual stories and for the distinction between original traces, memorials and presentation added later.

Visiting with a group

Groups must register and are subject to their own conditions. Preparation can help you discuss the subject appropriately, especially with pupils or visitors with little background knowledge.

Before you go

Individual admission is listed as free. Check closures on Jewish holidays and register groups in advance; use the current calendar for your chosen date.
