Why take this tour?

In this fascinating six-hour tour, you will gain a first-hand experience of the former concentration camp used during the Third Reich for political, ethnic and religious prisoners.

Due to missing records and the destruction of evidence, the official number of people murdered here is simply unknown. But estimates suggest that tens of thousands of people died of starvation, disease, mistreatment and murder throughout its use. The construction of gas chambers and ovens later in the War cements this view.

Today, Sachsenhausen is a reminder of the atrocities of the past and powerful monument for the people who lost their lives there. Now a centre of a thriving Jewish community, Berlin successfully encapsulates the brave fight against oppression and is a true beacon of hope for the future. Accompanied by your expert city guide, you will explore the memorial that stands today.
