In addition to the monument, there is an old watchtower and barbed wire on the memorial site, which expresses the indignity of the camp. There are panels all over the site showing historical pictures of camp life.

At the end of the memorial there is a watchtower, a piece of the former barbed wire fence and large panels depicting camp life.
