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.

Experience a profoundly moving full-day visit to Ravensbrück with at least 4 hours on site. In 1939, the Nazis established a women’s concentration camp opposite a renowned spa town, where smoke from the camp was visible to guests. Over its six years of operation, more than 100,000 women from Germany and all occupied territories endured horrific treatment at the hands of SS guards, many of them women. Tragically, over 30,000 lost their lives due to disease, exhaustion, hunger, brutality, or were murdered in gas chambers, shootings, or through inhumane medical experiments. It was by far the largest concentration camp for women in the Nazi system. Unlike more frequently visited concentartion camp sites as Sachsenhausen or Auschwitz, Ravensbrück offers a more reflective atmosphere due to its size and relative quiet. The gender-specific history highlights aspects such as female guards, women’s solidarity, and children in concentration camps.
