This concentration camp is highly educational. It has a museum on site, which means plan on adding an extra hour or two to your experience. The education is all self-directed. You can either rent a device which plays audio content for you, or use your smartphone to listen to the audio. I recommend renting the audio device because it frees up your phone for using it for photos and videos. There are 24 information points around the entire camp and memorial sites. If you want to listen to the audio tour at each of the 24 points, you’ll need a minimum of two hours. If you want to read every single plaque and memorial, you’ll need to add even more time onto your experience (especially if you don’t read in German or Hebrew, as you’ll have to use the “translate image” feature in the Google Translate app for every plaque). All in all, if you don’t want to miss a single piece of information in the concentration camp and memorial grounds and also read every single thing in the museum, you will need around 5 to 6 hours to get through everything thoughtfully. This is a very sobering and somewhat dark experience. It’s not something you breeze through. If you’re serious about confronting this dark and painful history, plan for being there for 5-6 hours. Bring food. There’s also a cafe there, so you can take a break to sit down and eat. There are also some very high quality books on the Shoah and concentration camps in the visitor’s building where you purchase your tickets. Some of them are the top books in their field. They’re reasonably priced as well.
