On a guided tour of Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial you will be thrown into a pivotal time in 20th century Nazi Germany and learn about the injustices and atrocities carried out by Nazi soldiers and Gestapo secret police.
Constucted using slave labour during 1936, Sachsenhausen was used to hold over 200,000 victims, considered to be enemies of the state or political opponents, as well as Jewish residents and racial minorities.
Over 50,000 of the 200,000 did not survive their imprisonment.
During this tour your English speaking guide take you to the execution grounds, hospital, crematorium and Pathology Centre, where unlucky prisoners were experimented on.
At each location your guide will explain the uses and functions of the remaining buildings and tell the stories of prisoners such as Stalin's Son and British Marine Commandoes.
Also, hear how the camp was liberated by the Soviet Union and later transformed into a prison used to interrogate surviving Nazi's until this tragic camp was finally dismantled in 1950.
