Guided Story
Imagine yourself standing in a place that has witnessed both unimaginable horrors and incredible tales of survival. Look around and feel the heavy silence that hangs in the air. Did you know there was a secret institute for typhus and virus research here? Just behind you, towards the far end of the site, experiments were conducted that are hard to fathom today. If you glance to the west, you'll see the memorial honoring the 56,000 lives lost here. Every step you take on this ground is a tribute to those who endured and whose stories are being told today. This exhibition isn't just a look into the past; it's a stark reminder for the future.
