He reviewed how the population of the camp changed by each year and how prisoners were classified and why by the color of the star on their uniform. Our guide did an excellent job coordinating the movement of the entire tour from start to finish and his very respectful and thoughtful description of the details brought a better understanding of the lead up of the rise of the Nazi party until the end of WWII.”
