The Memorial Room is open to the public from Monday to Friday, from 8.00 to 16.00. Larger groups should make prior arrangements in order to provide for the screening of documentary material and an adequate lesson in history.

Other information: The local government of the Brčko District has not approved the mounting of a third plaque (currently located in the Memorial Room) because it contains the words: "aggression" and "Serb authorities established a camp at this site". In addition to the existing plaque, there is a plaque from the Second World War at the entrance. It reads: In December 1941, at this waterside, the evil Ustasha murdered the patriots and the innocent people of the Brčko town and county.
