The place became an “Academy of Terror”, a role model and a training ground of vast brutality, killing around 40,000 people from 34 nations before it was liberated in 1945 by the American army.

Amazing. Request Jason when booking in English.

Jason was fantastic. His ability to break down the history was fascinating and we really enjoyed it. It is a heavy subject matter. We took the train from the station from Munich and Jason let us fire off 100% of our questions from the get go. Spring for the private tour.

Somber but excellent tour.

The tour guide clearly knew all about the location, history and socio-political dynamics at the time. This is a somber tour that highlights the worst human beings are capable of. This is clearly something that we need to remember and remind ourselves about, lest we repeat these atrocities in the future.

This is a somber and vital tour. The subject matter is so very sad and gut wrenching. Jessie is extremely knowledgeable and includes a great deal of history and background material. She treats the topics with the care and sensitivity they deserve. Never forget this history! There is a lot of walking and Jessie arranged for me to use an electric scooter.

His knowledge about the site and the events that surround it are impeccable, as well as his knowledge of the time period and the world perspective at the time.
