  We took a tour of the concentration camp and I highly recommend choosing this format more than an audio guide. The tour lasts 1h15 with the guide, it takes you to places you will not see if you just take the audio guide, it allows you to dive into the memories of this site full of history, suffering and atrocity. A place full of emotion, where the memory of all these deportees touches you in the heart. The tour ends with a museum and then gives you access to a tour of a gas chamber. A visit strong in emotion but which marks the spirits.

  Mickaël was very good, provided lots of information when required. Surprised us with a little snack when we visited the memorial on the way back to Strasbourg. Easy going and comfortable to be with.

  It’s a visit full of emotion and history! Unfortunately when we went there, no one at the ticket office warned us that the gas chambers would be closed (it’s a shame, because we drove there for nothing ...) Anyway, I advise it is really a rich and very interesting experience!

  It is a place full of history that paradoxically stands in a magnificent setting. The museum and the short film allow you to learn more about the place, its origin, its dark history and how the different prisoners lived. Some barracks are still standing and visitable for a complete and unique immersion in France. The site’s heavy past and the horrors that took place throughout the Second World War are quickly felt. The restoration, restoration and conservation work that allowed this site to be left open for visitors is to be commended. The museum is very complete, perfectly retraces the chronology of the site. Objects from the period, letters and testimonies bring us a very touching abyss. In addition, the laboratory, the crematorium, the prison and the canteen can be visited. The gas chamber is not directly on site and accessible without the need for a ticket (a few kilometers below). Note that the tour by a guide is feasible and very pleasant to follow.

  An emotionally rich historic place whose facts are recounted by a passionate guide. Thank you Roland for making us live this moment!

  What a horror for those who were kept prisoner or executed in this place. Human madness has no limit. It is important to conserve this kind of site so that future generations avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.

  It is very impressive, unforgettable and shocking to visit this Nacht und Nebel (the highest penal regime) concentration camp. However, I have some points of improvement for the conservator: 1. nice that there is a free audio tour with profound stories. Too bad, however, that the places it is about are not marked with a sign with a number. The numbering is on a map and that doesn't work very well. 2. in the Cartoffel cellar are beautiful pictures with captions in French. Fortunately, there are also large plastic cards with explanations in English or German. Unfortunately, it is impressively dark in that basement and the cards are black with lowercase letters so unfortunately the texts on those cards are illegible. Too bad! 3. The barracks with art made by the prisoners is incredibly overwhelming. The explanation in English and German is on tableaux there. Seems perfect but then it turns out that there is no anti-reflective glass on it and that there is a bright spot above each tableau. As a result, these texts are also not legible. In my view, it does not have to cost a whole lot of money to solve the above problems. It would make the experience of this camp a lot more pleasant especially for visitors who do not speak the French language.

  This place offers a visit and a museum (and also a cinema and exhibition room, but it is secondary to the theme). Headphones are available to obtain information on the site through these devices. If you prefer a more humane visit, you can take guided tours, or simply ask staff scattered all over the site. The museum part is very complete, showing how the war took place and the capture of the "prisoners". We have photographs and objects (real or reproduction) as well as testimonies and letters that allow us to feel the sadness and violence that was the war. After the museum part, a tour of the camp is available. Only two sheds are available, while the others have been removed (I don't know why). The first shows how they were transferred, the second contains a small representation of the dormitory as well as information on how they were executed. We can visit the crematorium on a great slope. We will see the fences, the viewpoints and even a laboratory (understand with the visit). The gas chambers are outside camps, further down the mountain. I highly recommend this fascinating best, especially as we know more about the real cruelty suffered by prisoners.

  Must-see visit for history. Many visitors, if you want a guided tour, come well in advance. Pleasant guide, who knows his subject well.

  Essential to understand and prevent this from happening again. The site is well preserved and allows to understand what lived the prisoners.
