Step by Step
Experience first-hand the experience of more than 200,000 prisoners who entered the Sachsenhausen concentration camp during the Nazi regime.
What today is a reminder of the darkest days of Berlin's history was once a school of brutality and terror. It was also used to train SS guards who later worked in other camps throughout Europe.
The tour starts in Berlin, from where you will travel with your guide to the camp. This involves the use of public transport, so you will need to buy a day ticket for the ABC zones.
On the way, the local guide will give you a briefing on the Nazi concentration camp system to get you started.
Once in the concentration camp, you will visit the most emblematic sites:
- The appellplatz (counting square).
- The barracks
- The pathology department
- The Zeilenbau (Gestapo prison)
- The extermination centre
- The crematorium
In the meantime, your guide will tell you stories about the daily life of the prisoners, the brutal punishments, tortures and murders. You will also learn about the last days of this concentration camp and its use after World War II by the Soviets.
