Guided Tours in the Memorial
Every month, we organise public guided tours through the memorial and premises of the former HASAG, with a focus on regularly alternating topics.
Groups can book individual tours. Please contact our staff in advance.
All tours last approximately 1.5 hours and consist of a visit of the memorial’s permanent exhibition as well as a short walk around the premises. They end with the opportunity to explore the memorial on your own and to ask questions.
