You step off the coach into a town of brick ramparts and empty parade grounds; the wind moves through the fortress like a reluctant guide, carrying the quiet of a place once repurposed for imprisonment and propaganda. The five-hour guided tour threads through the Small Fortress prison, the former Magdeburg Barracks that house the Ghetto Museum, the hidden synagogue, the Jewish cemetery and the crematorium—each space holding objects, drawings and documents that make the historical record painfully immediate.
