Overview

Join this award-winning tour from Berlin to the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial on a private visit led by a licensed guide who offers a thoughtful and informative exploration of this important historical site. Walk through the preserved camp grounds, including original barracks, guard towers, the gas chamber, execution facilities, infirmaries, and memorials, gaining a powerful insight into one of the key centers of Nazi persecution.

Your guide, an expert in WWII history, will explain the camp’s role within the Third Reich’s system of oppression and describe the methods used to control and dehumanise prisoners. Along the way, you will hear personal stories that illuminate the experiences of those imprisoned here, from political prisoners to the many groups targeted by the Nazi regime.

This deeply moving visit goes beyond a typical historical tour, offering space for reflection and a deeper understanding of the tragic lessons left by this chapter of history.

Oranienburg

Walk through the town of Oranienburg, which was deeply intertwined with the Nazi regime, both through its proximity to Sachsenhausen concentration camp and the direct involvement of local businesses in the exploitation of forced labor. Many local factories, including those producing war materials, relied on prisoners from Sachsenhausen for slave labor, contributing to the Nazi war effort. The town's residents were either aware of or complicit in the suffering occurring just outside their doorsteps. Some townspeople directly participated in the Nazi regime's operations, while others turned a blind eye, accepting the economic benefits and avoiding confrontation with the brutality taking place.

Memorial and Museum Sachsenhausen

During the 1936 Olympics, hosted by Nazi Germany, slave laborers were forced to build a new concentration camp just north of Berlin, intended to hold the Nazis’ political enemies. This camp was Sachsenhausen, and during the next decade some 200,000 people were imprisoned within the camp before it was evacuated by the Soviets in 1945. For another five years, the Soviets used the camp to imprison 60,000 war criminals, including Nazis and Nazi collaborators.
