Today, it is preserved as a memorial and museum to honor victims and educate visitors about the horrors of the Holocaust. The site includes remnants of the fortress, exhibits, and memorials, serving as a powerful reminder of human rights abuses and the importance of remembering history to prevent future atrocities.
