Really interesting site, the audio guide.in English was very informative. There were some imaginative displays and I feel there was a good balance between facts and statistics and information describing real lived experiences. It's a difficult visit emotionally, but extremely important to not let this be forgotten.

German death camp, it gives a very nice impression of living in there during the war.
Fort Breendonk makes the biggest talkers silent for sure, what an impression it gives to a person.. They did such a good job explaining the history at the entrance and the audioguide guiding you through the whole fort Breendonk. The storyteller definitely made you feel like you are living through that same hell. Needless to say the things that happened here, are unhuman and just pure horror. We went on a sunny day of 25 degrees, still it was around 5 inside the cold bunker, better dress warm! The audio guides are available in Dutch, French, English, German and Spanish. Though the information panels are mostly only Dutch and French but the many audio guide spots should not let you stop from coming if you’re not speaking Dutch and French only.
It's a must for all tourists who wants to know a little history of this concentrationcamp. Take your tissues with you. I didn't add pictures from inside. Because this is something you should experience in real life. There is an individual electronic guide which will take you on a Journey of 2.30h to 3h. Available in French, Dutch, English and Spanish. Maybe even more. But I had a device holding these languages. I recommend it.
I have been to many forts in different countries and here is the best place that stil can feel from 1914 -1944
Everything is written on Holland and France. For tourists not enough translet on some pictures. Missing a lot of English translet . Great place to visit to see some history . I recommend to everyone
Very cool to see. I must say it has a weird vibe to it, but I think that's normal. The guide was very kind and the tour was well-prepared!
Incredible experience. very well preserved, and to able to step back in time and visually see what those people went through was truly a humbling experience
