History Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Public Tour Visit

This tour focuses on the psychology and lives of both victims and perpetrators, exploring clues to the central question. It began with polarizing, violent, and stigmatizing words during the Weimar Republic and escalated over twelve years of dictatorship. The camp system started provisionally when Hitler came to power, evolving from the idea of “protective custody” to forced labor exploitation, and ultimately to the death camps of the “Final Solution.” Sachsenhausen existed for nine years. Originally planned for about 6,000 inmates, it eventually held over 40,000, with more than 50,000 people losing their lives there. In 1936 this model camp was built in the forest during the Berlin Olympic Games. Its architecture is a stark testament to the SS’s omnipotent control and the professionalization of terror. The tour is information-dense, covering multiple storylines that unfolded simultaneously at the camp. All guides hold the official certification of the memorial site.

Private Day Trip from Berlin Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial Tour

Sachsenhausen was built in 1936 around the time that the Nazis were using the Olympic Games as a showcase for their dictatorship. The early camps were built to crush any potential opposition from the left but within a short time had become filled with groups and individuals targeted by the regime because of their race, religion, sexuality and supposed unfitness for society. The closest permanent camp to Berlin, and the second purpose-built camp, Sachsenhausen was intended as a model camp for all the camps to follow. Visiting the Memorial today will help you understand the evolution not only of the camp system itself but the overarching narrative of the dictatorship itself - from persecution to annihilation.

Sachsenhausen Tour

Hannah was our guide through insider tours and was fab! Very empathetic, extremely knowledgeable and just was the most fantastic guide for what was a tough tour. Would recommend this tour but ask for Hannah if you get a choice. Would recommend. For anyone who questions taking children. We took our 12 year old son who asked lots of questions, was sensitive to where and how he asked questions and is still talking about the tour.

Sachsenhousen Concentration Camp. Will be the highlight of your ever taken

It was very moving to actually tour the outside and the inside of this concentration camp. Our guide, Peter was a most powerful instructor in the personal history details of this concentration camp. Very informative and actually a brilliant speaker. We couldn't have had a better experience with Peter. I would definitely give our tour if possible a 6 star experience. Viator should be proud of having him as a tour guide. Amazing day.
