Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial Tour

Discover the SS world view of humanity on the Sachsenhausen Tour

As the Nazi’s watched their preconceptions of a superior race shattered by Jesse Owens in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, they were already underway constructing the administrative center of concentration camps in Oranienburg, which would eventually become the Sachsenhausen German concentration camp. The Sachsenhausen Tour is the best way to learn about the history, savagery, and horror of the Holocaust on a single trip to Berlin. Knowledgeable tour guides fluent in English and German explain why more than two hundred thousand humans were imprisoned there, with more than a quarter of them ultimately perishing during World War II. Learn on the Sachsenhausen Tour why Nazi architects chose the location as the ideal structure for a concentration camp, and how it was used as a training ground of the Holocaust. Discover the harsh realities of life in the German concentration camp. From starvation to disease, forced labor in one of the world’s largest brickworks or as subjects of systematic extermination and torture of the SS, you will see it all. Sachsenhausen Tour guides lead you past the ghastly crematorium, the bloody execution grounds, the pathology laboratory and “hospital” where victims were brutally experimented on. And finally the putrid "pit," where victims were simply thrown into to rot. Nauseating and informative all-in-one, the Sachsenhausen Tour will leave you wiser, saddened, and thoughtful when you hear about the concentration camps and their conditions.
