They do a great job of educating visitors on what went on there during WWII. I like that they decided to preserve what they could against the people's wish to forget the worst parts of the war. People need to know the history to, hopefully, never repeat it. Everyone I met there were extremely helpful in furthering my understanding of what my dad went through there. An interesting and educational day out, need about 1.5 to 2hrs to complete the museum tour. For public transport , take bus No.9 from city centre and get off at Borneoplein, then it's a 15-20m walk. They really did a great job with the stories and all the displays. It's a lot to take in for one day. The fobs they have are available in English which was very helpful. Highly recommend visiting. We toured the outside first as I was accompanied by locals who could explain the areas. It's disturbing to visit this place and find out about its history. Still one needs to see this out of respect for the victims. A very modern exhibition that is worth seeing. Nice and friendly staff as always in the Netherlands. We had a tour and the tour gide was a little to opinionated over this serious matter but the museum is very well done. Plan in a few hours as they also have a lot of recorded interviews from all kind of people involved on both sides Powerful and respectful presentation of the appalling history of this camp -- it's story including the officers, Dutch neighbors, and especially the people who suffered here. The stories and artifacts presented in the underground museum are extremely moving. I was alone during my visit and was able to explore freely at my own pace Just a walk in the woods to view the monuments is a solemn event. Kudos to the caretakers of this important monument. Rating a war memorial where horrible things happened five stars might seem strange. But the historical value for the region is significant and the memorial is wel taken care of and very informative. Everyone should read " First they came for the... " by M Niemöller , after they have been here. "Never again" , we said in 1945 And just look at Trump, Putin et al today I found this place to be something else, but in the best way. Here is why: This place has a gloomy history, but they have done such a good job to perserve what is left of it, after the destruction of half the camp many years ago. I paid 12 Euros to enter, You receive a complimentary audio tour and map. What I loved most about this place, once you go down the stairs there are Interviews Regarding former inmates of this camp. Walking along the woods, you see pictures of inmates that survived this campaswell. Objects like eating bowls, Handmaid shoes, and doctor's clothes are all on display in this camp. After everything, you get to sit down and have a good meal before you head back home,in their modern restaurant. ☕️🍪🍲 Have fun.
