The tour is a guided walk through the grounds of the memorial site of the former "model concentration camp of the Reich capital," Sachsenhausen, which was later also used as a "Soviet special camp."

Built in 1936 during the Olympic Games in Berlin, Sachsenhausen also served as a training facility for the camp SS. Additionally, it housed the central administrative office of the SS, the "Inspection of Concentration Camps."

An experienced guide conveys the history of the camp and highlights the special role Sachsenhausen played within the concentration camp system. The tour addresses both the fates of the victims and the biographies of the perpetrators. It offers a respectful and educational experience that makes the significance of the memorial site and the lessons of history tangible.

As a private tour, the itinerary can be individually tailored to your needs and interests.
