We were split into two groups meeting up later for lunch. However, as we started the walking part, the heavens opened. Quickly the order of the tour was changed so that the bus picked us up and took us to the museum.
It was very moving and depressing revealing that between 30 and 50,000 Jews were killed here; either shot and buried in mass graves or burned alive. Their stories and photos and memorabelia are all that remain. The original location (the Fort) is still there along with the dramatic museum and a giant concrete edifice errected in the Soviet era.
