Konzentrationslager Struthof

This concentration camp forgotten history books, is to be visited absolutely for the duty of memory. Seeing that men can do to other human beings, is unthinkable. It is an interesting visit, too bad that the gas chamber cannot be visited every day.

Guided tour of the only French concentration camp. Many emotions and questions about the cruelty of some of our fellow human beings. In our opinion, visiting with a guide is not essential: all the information is available at the reception or during the crossing of the camp and its buildings.

Superb museum on a period of the very dark war where many photos testify to the atrocity of the camps built to exploit and exterminate innocent women and jmmes

Visiting a Nazi concentration camp is a sobering, saddening and educational experience. This camp is a unique experience, as it is the only one on French soil. Mickael conducted this tour with respect and dignity, allowing us to learn and immerse ourselves in the camp experience. He did a great job taking us through the Vosges mountains and an ancient abbey and small village. He is warm, engaging and informative. Highly recommend.

We took a tour of the concentration camp and I highly recommend choosing this format more than an audio guide. The tour lasts 1h15 with the guide, it takes you to places you will not see if you just take the audio guide, it allows you to dive into the memories of this site full of history, suffering and atrocity. A place full of emotion, where the memory of all these deportees touches you in the heart. The tour ends with a museum and then gives you access to a tour of a gas chamber. A visit strong in emotion but which marks the spirits.

Mickaël was very good, provided lots of information when required. Surprised us with a little snack when we visited the memorial on the way back to Strasbourg. Easy going and comfortable to be with.

It’s a visit full of emotion and history! Unfortunately when we went there, no one at the ticket office warned us that the gas chambers would be closed (it’s a shame, because we drove there for nothing ...) Anyway, I advise it is really a rich and very interesting experience!

It is a place full of history that paradoxically stands in a magnificent setting. The museum and the short film allow you to learn more about the place, its origin, its dark history and how the different prisoners lived. Some barracks are still standing and visitable for a complete and unique immersion in France. The site’s heavy past and the horrors that took place throughout the Second World War are quickly felt. The restoration, restoration and conservation work that allowed this site to be left open for visitors is to be commended. The museum is very complete, perfectly retraces the chronology of the site. Objects from the period, letters and testimonies bring us a very touching abyss. In addition, the laboratory, the crematorium, the prison and the canteen can be visited. The gas chamber is not directly on site and accessible without the need for a ticket (a few kilometers below). Note that the tour by a guide is feasible and very pleasant to follow.

An emotionally rich historic place whose facts are recounted by a passionate guide. Thank you Roland for making us live this moment!

What a horror for those who were kept prisoner or executed in this place. Human madness has no limit. It is important to conserve this kind of site so that future generations avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
