Concentration Camps: A Traveler's Guide to World War II Sites
by Marc Terrance
|
Concentration Camps: A Traveler's Guide to World War II Sites is a valuable resource for anyone planning to visit Holocaust-related sites in Europe. The book offers detailed information about forty-four different sites in six countries: Poland, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, and France. Entries are provided for both major and minor sites, from the Corrie Ten Boom House and Schloss Hartheim to the camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Dachau, and Theresienstadt.
This book provides a variety of essential information for visitors to these sites, such as addresses, hours of operation, entrance fees, and directions, along with numerous maps and photographs. The author also helpfully notes what transportation options are not recommended, when reservations or a tour guide are needed, and how long to allow to see each site. Furthermore, his personal experiences traveling to these sites result in advice and tidbits not normally found in other guide books, from descriptions of what remains at each site to what side of the bus to sit on when traveling to Hitler's house at Eagle's Nest. This unique work also features recommendations for books, videos, and web sites travelers might want to consult before making their trip and includes general travel tips on how to read train schedules, exchange currency and more.
