Sehr interessant! Super mit einer Zeitzeugin alles zu erleben.

Een museum waar je niet per ongeluk terecht komt maar wat wel zeer de moeite waar is. Tenminste als je geïnteresseerd bent over geschiedenis. Het gebouw heeft men intact gelaten zoals het rond 1989 was. Daardoor reis je terug in de tijd. Er is een audiotour waarin je als verdachte wordt binnengebracht en gevangen gezet.
