This surpassed our expectations. Mickaël our guide picked us up at our B and B. He was informed, sensitive and patient, giving us all the time we needed to read and absorb everything. He also provided a welcomed lunch. This is a must tour for all. We would like to take another tour with Mickaël. Couple from Canada

Visit to struthof camp is very different than most other tours. It was real, dark, history, striking, also kind of hidden place, few tourists, you feel a lot there. Mickael is very nice, he set up a picnic lunch at in the forest in the middle of Mont Sainte-Odile, feel like locals. Hiking in forest is nice too, picking mushrooms, see the wall, everything is very special, definitely recommend go with this tour.

En séjour en Alsace il était pour nous important de nous rendre a Struthof afin de faire notre devoir de mémoire et faire découvrir et mieux comprendre a nos enfants ce pan de notre histoire. Très émue en passant le portique de l'entrée. Vous ressentez tout de suite l'horreur de ce qui se passait dans ces lieux. Visite du bâtiment crématoire très poignante.

Que dire, si ce n'est que cette visite m'a profondément touchée et émue? En pénétrant dans ces lieux, on ressent non seulement cette atmosphère sombre et douloureuse mais également toute l'horreur que les déportés ont endurée. Le vent était glacial mais il aurait été indécent de me plaindre en pensant à eux. Les pièces les plus impressionnantes sont celles où se trouvent le four crématoire ainsi que la table d'autopsie. Ce lieu pouvant heurter les plus sensibles, je le déconseille aux enfants de moins de 12 ans.

Cette visite permet à nos jeunes de mieux comprendre les horreurs de la guerre et de se plonger dans un cours d'histoire en réel. Nous avions un guide exceptionnel, un passionné qui a mis en scène les jeunes du groupe par des lectures et des jeux de rôle. Je conseille vivement la visite guidée pour ne rien rater de l'histoire du site, nous nous sommes laissé emporter par les paroles du guide en plongeant quelques instants dans un passé effroyable.

Une visite forte en émotions, nous avons réalisé la visite guidée et nous n'avons pas regretté. A faire absolument pour se souvenir et ne jamais oublier

S'il est lieu de mémoire à venir visiter, il s'agit bien du seul camp de concentration situé en France. il est un message à garder que la liberté n'est jamais absolument gagnée.

Que dire de ce camp Très émouvant Pour moi le plus dur à visiter a été le bâtiment abritant le four ainsi que celui où se passait les expériences

Adventurer0681

Une visite qui vaut la peine de faire. En mémoire des horreurs qui s’y sont passés ! La visite guidée est comprise dans le prix (une dizaine d’euros) Prévoir 3h.
