About this activity

As your tour guide, it is my solemn duty to lead you through this powerful and poignant site, where echoes of the past resonate and the lessons learned are etched into the very fabric of the surroundings.

Our journey begins at the entrance gate, marked by the infamous slogan "Arbeit Macht Frei" – "Work Sets You Free." This chilling phrase sets the tone for what lies ahead, as we explore the various barracks, watchtowers, and historical exhibitions that reveal the stories of those who endured unimaginable suffering within these walls.

Walking through the solemn rows of barracks, you'll gain insight into the daily lives of the prisoners, each structure holding untold tales of resilience and tragedy.

So, let us embark on this journey together, honoring the memory of those who suffered and pledging to create a world where tolerance, compassion, and human dignity prevail.

Discover Sachsenhausen Camp

The first and main concentration camp in Berlin

The Sachsenhausen camp was one of the first concentration camps established by the Nazis near the city of Berlin, and it is currently used as a memorial site in memory of more than 200,000 prisoners who were imprisoned and killed there, including Jews, communists, homosexuals, gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses and opponents of the Reich regime.

This is an opportunity to take a look at the dark daily routine that was in the camp, to go through the many stories of heroism alongside the horrors where many lives were cut short.

In the camp there are many sites such as the Jewish barracks, the prison, station Z which was the last station in the camp and the clinics where experiments were carried out on prisoners.

On the tour we will also learn about Germany during the Nazi era.
