Berlin: Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Tour in English

Award-Winning Sachsenhausen Memorial Tour – A Profound Journey Through History Sachsenhausen was the first purpose-built concentration camp, designed as a center of terror, persecution, and systematic murder. Initially, it imprisoned those the Nazis deemed racially, socially, or politically inferior. Travel through the town of Oranienburg and uncover how the local population both supported and benefited from its existence. Your expert, licensed guide will lead you through key sites, including the punishment cells, infirmary, barracks, gas chamber, and crematoria. Hear powerful stories of resilience, courage, and solidarity among inmates in the face of unimaginable horror. The tour also includes a visit to the Inspectorate of Camps—an unassuming yet critical building from which the Nazis controlled the entire concentration camp system across Europe. A €3 per person donation supports the site's maintenance, and preservation and future restoration of the Sachsenhausen Memorial.
