As a teacher I've taken several groups of students to this museum and it never fails to have a powerful impact. The best part is survivors sharing their stories - a bit luck of the draw; some are more engaging than others but always a worthwhile experience.

Like our visit to Nagasaki bomb zero museum, this museum puts visual impact to the portions of history that are many times overlooked. An excellent presentation and well worth the visit to spend time and reflect.

We came here for part of my partners uni course. They had 3 talkes set up by survivors which were noth emotional and educational.

A fantastic yet chilling experience! Highly recommend, especially to those considering Auschwitz. All staff were friendly and considerate

This is a small museum, but leave plenty of time to view and read the displays properly and talk to the guides. It is primarily an educational centre, and the guides, both survivors and others, are knowledgeable, interesting, and willing to take time to answer all questions.
