Sachsenhausen Memorial Tour

 

Just outside the city limits stands a reminder of the darkest days of BerlinÙs history: Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. Built in 1936 by slave laborers, Sachsenhausen became the model that all other camps followed. It was a school of brutality, training guards for positions in other camps. By the end of WWII, over 50,000 people had died there. SachsenhausenÙs tragic history continued from 1945 to 1950 when the new Communist occupiers secretly followed the Nazis' footsteps and used the camp to detain political enemies. Thousands more perished during this period. Visiting the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial is one of the most important things you can do on your visit to Berlin. During our six hour tour, we tell the story of SachsenhausenÙs infamous history with the sensitivity needed to examine how something as horrible as the Holocaust could have happened.
