Overview

The former concentration camp Sachsenhausen was the first purposely built camp to be established as a center for terror, fear, persecution, torture, experimentation and murder. Initially it imprisoned those the Nazi's deemed to be racially, socially or politically inferior. On your way to the former concentration camp pass through the local town of Oranienburg and learn how the population supported and benefited from its operation. Your expert, licensed guide will accompany you through the former prison/punisment cells, infirmaries, barracks, gas chamber and crematoria. Learn stories of valour and solidarity amongst the inmates in the face of an almost hopeless situation. During our tour you will visit the Inspectorate of Camps, from this innocuous looking building the Nazi's controlled the entire concentration camp sytem of Europe.

For every ticket sold we donate €2 towards the upkeep and future restoration of the former concentration camp

Jamie was an excellent guide. First and most importantly you could always hear him clearly. He was very knowledgeable, always interesting and treated a difficult subject with respect while portraying the full horror of the camp. Finally he always made sure everyone kept up. A thoroughly enjoyable and thoughtful day.

Although this not a "fun" experience it should be a must visit here in Berlin. It's sobering to feel even a bit of what it was like to be forced into a concentration camp. Even as avid reader of history I learned many things that i did not realize previously. Our tour guide, George, was simply amazing. His range of knowledge and his passion for the subject made the day powerful indeed. In addition, his professionalism and his attentiveness in managing the group via public trains made the travel easy and simplified for us. We felt privileged to have had his guidance.
