    The tour was excellent, interesting and informative as well very emotional. The great Synagogue is magnificent and very impressive. The attached museum is small but very informative and the memorial garden with it's weeping-willow Tree of Life sculpture unforgettable. Our guide Benjamin Keszler was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information about the Jewish life pre holocaust and during it. It was very emotional for me. I would recommend this tour to my friends.
