Concentration Camp Sachsenhausen train&walk (6h)

Overview

We delve deep into the psychology of Nazi terror. See how atrocities developed from bad to worst in only 9 years. The system of concentration camps changed from protective custody via slave labour up to the "final solution"death camps. 3,000 inmates had to build this model camp in the forest during the Berlin Olympic Games 36. The camps architecture is a manifest for the SS´s omnipotent power over their victims. This camp hosted the overall administration for more than 1.000 camps. We visit authentic baracks, the death „Station Z“ as well as the medical research facilities of the "sick barracks". We talk about remembrance culture and societal learning in the mirror of the times, about the SS as an organization of a terrorist "elite", about perpetrators and victims. The tour is characterized by a high density of information. We talk about different storylines that happened here simultaneously. Our guides have the official certification of the memorial site.
