Sachsenhausen was the first purpose-built concentration camp, created as a centre of terror, persecution, and systematic brutality. Initially, it imprisoned those the Nazi regime considered racially, socially, or politically undesirable.

Your expert, licensed guide will lead you through key locations including the punishment cells, infirmary, barracks, gas chamber, and crematoria, while sharing powerful stories of resilience and courage among prisoners.
