A really good museum, telling the story from WW2 Nazi activities in Trieste. San Sabba Rice Mill was used by Nazi Germany to extinguish enemies and unwanted persons in the Nazi regiemes view. San Sabba Rice Mill contained a crematorium oven. Findings shows around 1000-4000 people can have need kolied at this site. Today the museum is telling the story from that time. The situation in the East Italian region in 1943-45. San Sabbatn Rice Mill is worth a visit. It can he seen as a mix of a museum and a memorial (church like) site where a certain dignity and silence provides good room for thoutghys and reflection of the crual stories in the original but gently rebuild site. The entrance is free. (Gratis)

Very worthwhile, thought-provoking visit. I had not realised the extent of WW2 history in Italy until now. The architecture of the museum is stunningly starkly done. Several respectful school parties touring. I liked the fact that the staff are strict on decorum during the visit.

It is a place of pain and sorrow. But it is necessary to remember. It is well kept and respectable. Needs better directional signage before entering.

Be prepared to bring handkerchiefs whit you because this place not will let your eyes stay dry. Free entry to the monument which guides you through the madness and horror of the nazi activity. There is a museum part and you can walk around I different parts of the former "police retention camp". Items, journals, weapons, testimonials and buildings remembers what can happen if madness prevails instead of common humanity. There is a monument of the former chimney of the crematorium.

Not a light experience, but I considered it as a must, visiting the nearby. Free entrance (I took audioguide for 3 Eur, but even without it, the museum provides enough information in Italian and English). This is part of history, not so long time ago.

This is a less known, yet very important site to visit. A remarkable monument of an era that should not be forgotten. For 2 euros only you can buy an audio guide which I really recommend to do so, as otherwise you won't understand what to look at and you won't have all the background information. If you get there by car the most convenient is to park at the supermarket's parking lot nearby.

An unexpected little gem. Another sad point of reflection on WW2, and how grim it must have been. It's not a very big museum and there is a lot of reading. For me the map of the transition locations across Germany shows the systematic scale of the operation that was being undertaken. In spite of being close to the town, people did not realise what was going on until late in the war. Entry is free, but a donation is welcome.

Interering place to visit but not much to see. A bit off the beaten track though easy to get to by bus. History is tragic and we hope it will not happen again. This is why it is important to visit such landmarks
