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.
