Jean and I would like, sometime in the future, to visit one of the camps like Belsen or Auschwitz.
We have only recently got interested in WW2 (our areas are WW1 and the 1745 Jacobite Rising) and that interest only really covers Dunkirk, D-Day and Arnhem (along with the units mentioned in my signature), so we know zilch about the Concentration Camps.
However, we have obviously heard about them and feel that they are places we should visit; even if just to show we remember all those who were incarcerated in them.

So, now to the question!!

Is there a map showing the locations of the camps (even if it is just the major/infamous ones.
Are there proper tours to the camps (like WWI battlefield tours)?

Many thanks.
