Built as part of a military citadel with a walled garrison town long before WWII. Includes thick earthen bermed walls, moats and 22 miles of catacombs. Was used as a Nazi concentration camp. Extreme overcrowding and cruelty in the camp and nearby Jewish ghetto resulted in 33,000 deaths. Approximately 88,000 were sent from this location to Auschwitz and other extermination camps. Our visit was led by very knowledgeable and passionate guides. We toured a museum detailing the history and use of this complex. There were items written and composed by the inmates. The guides emphasized to us how humanity must never forget the atrocities perpetrated here. We got to stand in the prisoner barracks, confinement cells, and isolation cells. We also got to walk through some of the underground tunnels used by the guards. Most chilling was the gallows where prisoners were routinely hung. While Jews lived in squalor and disease the guards had a cinema, pool and garden. According to our guide, there were 28 guards to 12,000 Jewish prisoners in this part of the complex. May we never forget.

The Barracks exhibition takes you through the life of a soldier in the fortress in the second half of the 18th century. You will see fortress cannons and field guns, horses in harness and a supply vehicle. You will visit the richest interiors, inhabited by the commander of the fortress, with opulent furniture, the slightly poorer dwellings of the officers and the considerably more simply furnished digs of the petty officers. Ordinary soldiers had the simplest quarters. They had to make do with a simple wooden bed with a straw mattress and a blanket.
