 The museum is supposed to help the visitor understand the manifold issues, with a special focus on human beings’ fates.Technical advice is given the museum by the historians and museologists Dr. Ulrich Wagner and Stefan Knobloch, who work at the "Historisches Museum Bremerhaven", as well as Roland Paul from the "Institut für Pfälzische Geschichte und Volkskunde" (Institute for Palatine History and Folklore) in Kaiserslautern.Since the museum is tended by volunteer helpers, it is only ever open on the first and third Sunday in every month.
