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.

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!

It's a piece of history that should never be forgotten and definitely never repeated. It's donation to get in and walking around is very somber, it's absolutely horrible walking around especially to the ovens and the hanging cells, it has a vibe of death in the place, we went in wanting to take tons of photos and do the tourist thing but walking around your mood changes and goes very dark. A must for any history fan and for those that want to see the horrible side of humanity.

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 .

It was very interesting to get to know more about the history of the Kz Buchenwald. We stayed 4 days at the young peoples home, everything was nice and clean. Personally, I thought it was a little sad that most of the buildings weren't standing anymore, but the happier I was when we went to the museum. All in all great historical place which is not only a point on your travel bucket list but so much more.
