Immerse yourself in a poignant chapter of Germany's past with a thought-provoking guided tour of the former Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp, now a haunting memorial site.

Embark on a poignant journey to the Sachsenhausen Memorial, a significant and somber chapter in Germany's complex history. Established in 1936 by the SS, this notorious site was designed to suppress any opposition to the Nazi regime. Meet your knowledgeable guide in Berlin and take a short train ride to Oranienburg, a charming town just 25 minutes north of Berlin. After a leisurely 30-minute walk from the station, arrive at the Sachsenhausen Memorial Site. Your guided tour begins at the Camp Administration Center, now a museum, which once served as the nerve center for the Third Reich's 32 main camps and over 1,000 satellite camps. As you explore the site, your guide will share gripping stories about life inside the camp, the ill-fated 'Death March' preceding the camp's liberation in 1945, and its post-war use by the Soviet authorities. Listen intently as your guide recounts tales of courage and defiance, including the 1942 Jewish prisoner uprising, the bravery of British prisoners of war, and the cunning sabotage efforts of Soviet and Polish prisoners. Hear firsthand accounts of the people who lived through this dark period, including the diverse prisoner groups, their fates, and notable inmates, such as Stalin's son. Your guide will accompany you back to central Berlin after the tour. Some of the sites you may visit on this tour include: • The Camp Administration Center, formerly the Concentration Camps Inspectorate • Station Z • The Watchtower • The Commandant's House • Jewish Barracks • Punishment Cells • The Pathology Laboratory • The Infirmary • Special Camp 1/7 • The SS Training Camp • The Gallows
