The entrance is a desolate space, enclosed by high fences. Its spaciousness evokes the desolation and detachment the prisoners experienced.<\/p>\n
Only a few trees have survived, as silent witnesses. The path leads past a model of the camp and past footprints, depicting roll call, to the museum\u2019s entrance pavilion.
