With this bus tour to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial, our professional, English-speaking guide will provide a running commentary on the way, preparing you for the tour through Sachsenhausen with background information on the early years of the Nazi camp system. Sachsenhausen- the first concentration camp that was built from the ground up to be a camp, planned and designed for maximum control. Enter the old barracks, learn about daily life for the inmates of the camp, and how hard labour, starvation, disease, torture and death were a part of daily life. See where people were gassed, shot by firing squad, or hanged. The East Germans memorialised Sachsenhausen in 1961, and today you can experience the location where atrocities were committed, as well as discover how the Germans deal with their history today, and how they come to terms with their past. For every ticket sold we donate €2 towards the upkeep and future restoration of the former concentration camp
