Visit the Sachsenhausen Memorial, which was the concentration camp closest to the Nazi capital and became a prototype on which all other camps were based.
On this tour we will take you back to the prisoners' daily life and their struggle for survival on the basis of selected biographies.
The prisoners were among others simply Communists, Jews and whoever else the Nazis considered their enemy. Just imagine that 200 000 inmates from 40 countries had been here!

2Memorial and Museum Sachsenhausen
The visit to the former Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp begins at the Memorial entrance, where we learn about its role as a model camp in the Nazi system. We continue to the former SS Officers’ Casino, a stark contrast to the prisoners’ reality. Through Tower A, the main gate, we see how the camp’s layout enforced total control. On the Roll Call Square, we hear about the long, punishing daily roll calls. In Barracks 38 and 39, we learn about the persecution of Jewish prisoners. The former camp kitchen, now a museum, shows documents and testimonies about forced labor and daily life. At the ruins of Station Z, the site of the gas chamber and crematoria, we confront the camp’s function as a place of extermination. The tour ends at the infirmary and pathology lab, where medical experiments and abuse were carried out.
