Overview

The former concentration camp Sachsenhausen was the first purposely built camp to be established as a center for terror, fear, persecution, torture, experimentation and murder. Initially it imprisoned those the Nazi's deemed to be racially, socially or politically inferior. On your way to the former concentration camp pass through the local town of Oranienburg and learn how the population supported and benefited from its operation. Your expert, licensed guide will accompany you through the former prison/punisment cells, infirmaries, barracks, gas chamber and crematoria. Learn stories of valour and solidarity amongst the inmates in the face of an almost hopeless situation. During our tour you will visit the Inspectorate of Camps, from this innocuous looking building the Nazi's controlled the entire concentration camp sytem of Europe.

For every ticket sold we donate €2 towards the upkeep and future restoration of the former concentration camp

This was a difficult and very emotional excursion. It was the most memorable experience of our Berlin trip. Our guide, Beth, was amazing! Her knowledge was vast. The group was small which was great. Beth answered any questions we had. Would highly recommend because we should never forget the fall...

Xavier was probably one of the best guides I think we could have had. He made sure to get in as much information as he could and won’t sugar cost anything which I think is very important for a tour like this.
