Buchenwald Memorial

This is such a well done memorial. So sad, so informative, you can spend the entire day here reading, listening to audio stories, wandering the grounds. This is a story that needs to never be forgotten. If you are in the area, make time for this.

Just like beautiful places in a country i believe visiting places like this is also in the package of visiting and exploring a country. Its heartbreaking especially the crematorium which i started my visit from, It was devastating knowing what people in here have been through and on what historical we are stepping . I recommend visiting Buchenwald .The presentation is clear and engaging.just make sure you are mentally ready and u have some water and food with you .

A good designed memorial. Reminds how far the human cruelty can go. Sad, but a must-go-place to refresh the history in the mind. We had a great tour guide (her name is Franziska, i guess) even answered the most "stupid" or "easy" questions and explained every detail. I appreciated.

Memorials like this must be preserved as a warning to mankind of how man can turn towards man. This camp is worth visiting also for the excellent museum. If you take a tour guide you will be able to enter the crematorium and get excellent descriptions, moreover all over the remains of the camp there are plaques and photos. Go to the end of the camp where, hidden in the grass and vegetation, there are hundreds of remains of kitchenware, which are as shocking as the rest, but perhaps the most shocking element of this camp are the remains of a zoo for the SS families, just in front of the crematorium, just another metaphor of how blind people can become if not able to think for themselves. Practical information for visiting: there is a parking and a little cafeteria.

Impressive to visit, unfortunately not all buildings are enterable. The scale of the place is breathtaking and the crematorium is the place that makes you want to hold your breath as you cannot image the horrors that took place in Buchenwald.

This place will make you think about the past, the people and the horrible experience they had to go through. It's customary that you don't laugh, talk loud and be noisy. You should honor the fallen with your silence. Everything they preserved in pristine condition. You can't take photos everywhere. The museum holds so much detailed information that you can feel the past. Worth visiting but if you have a weak heart or an over thinking or too sensitive mind, It's better to be cautious.

When it comes to Holocaust, everyone thinks that it happened in Auschwitz, far away from Germany. But, very few know about Buchenwald and the horrors happened here. It's an important place to visit if anyone wants to know the dark German history during world war 2 and what came after the liberation of Buchenwald. I was touched by the stories and horrible things that happened there, which will be remembered in my mind and thoughts forever, and which can never be happened again!

Impressive place, we need to remember what happened and avoid repeating it. Very sad…
