5.00Great, a museum in its juice devoid of big coins to watch what forces you to read and therefore learn a lot! We loved it
Well worth a visit

5.00I think this is a museum at least every German should visit, it shows in no uncertain terms how they treated thousands of people. The delema they got their selves into by letting a tyrant take over the country, and how their lives might be now if they weren't rescued by Britain and they allied forces. Then they might not treat us like third class citizens when we visit the country.

5.00If you want a in depth look at this dark bit of the world’s history I highly recommend this tour with Michael.He is very knowledgeable and will tailor the tour to what you want to concentrate on. I know for a lot of people learning about this is not how they want to spend their holiday, but for those inclined I highly recommend it. It is only through education and spreading of this information that the world can ever hope to prevent these tragedies repeating themselves.
