You received a digital guide. A kind of remote control that tells you the stories with the photos and short texts. If you have headphones with you, this is very useful, so you don't have to hold the remote control against your head all the time. Was very impressive.

The museum is very focused on telling the profoundly moving stories of the men, women and children held there during WW2. I found it interesting reading about how some were sent to Sachsenhausen from here. I visited Sachsenhausen in February so this helped me join up my knowledge and understanding. The museum is impeccable.

The prison is very impressive. Especially the first films when you are in such a cell hit me hard. How the people talk about the time they were there gives chills. It is very drastic, it is good that this time is preserved in this way.
