Sachsenhausen: Concentration Camp Memorial Tour from Berlin + Live Guide
About this experience
As the first purpose-built camp established under Himmler, Sachsenhausen was conceived as a ‘model’ structure. Join an expert guide and discover how Nazi architects designed the grounds and buildings with a view to subjugating prisoners to the absolute power of the SS.
Learn how Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp effectively became a training ground for the Holocaust once certain groups had been defined as racially or biologically inferior. Uncover the realities of life and death in the camp. Visit the barracks, punishment cells, execution grounds, crematorium, pathology laboratory, gas chamber and infirmary. Hear about the fate of notable prisoners, such as Stalin’s son, and how ‘death marches’ were the end for many.
Moat importantly you'll hear stories of valour amid the horror.
