Join us for a meaningful journey to Sachsenhausen, one of the most important memorial sites from World War II and Nazi Germany’s system of concentration camps. We’ll meet at Alexanderplatz, where your expert guide will accompany you on a scenic train ride to Sachsenhausen. During the trip, your guide will provide historical background on the camp’s origins, purpose, and its role as a model camp for the Nazis, setting the stage for the visit ahead. We will understand the complex history of this place through the different monuments that, for different ideologies and at different times, have been placed at the memorial. Our guides will approach the subject matter of the visit with the utmost respect for the victims. At Sachsenhausen, we’ll begin at Tower A, the main entrance marked by the famous “Arbeit macht Frei” sign. You’ll explore Barracks 38 and 39, where Jewish prisoners were held in extremely cramped conditions. Barracks 38 now serves as a museum showcasing their daily lives. We’ll also visit the original punishment cells used to detain prisoners for minor offenses. The tour includes insights into the cruel medical experiments conducted in the infirmary and morgue, as well as a visit to the former prisoner kitchen, now a museum highlighting key moments in the camp’s history. You’ll see the remains of Station Z, where many executions took place. Finally, we will visit the Soviet memorial built in 1961, reflecting the camp’s role after World War II. At the end of the tour, you can choose to return to Berlin by train with our guide's help or stay longer to explore the memorial at your own pace.
Il tour molto bello e interessante, anche se faceva veramente molto freddo. La nostra guida Walid è stata eccellente dall’inizio alla fine. Per non farci gelare ci ha fatto aspettare all’ingresso di un supermercato mentre lui attendeva fuori le altre persone (un dettaglio sicuramente da non tralasciare). Durante il tour è riuscito a spiegarci tutto accuratamente e faceva sempre in modo che ci sentissimo a nostro agio.
Our tour was fantastic! Peter (Pete) was a great tour guide and he was so passionate and told us everything we needed to know and more. Couldn’t recommend this experience enough!!
Excelente el enfoque y actitud de nuestra guía Vincent. Muy amable y resolvió todas nuestras dudas. Fui en invierno y si hay que considerar el clima y que es un tour al aire libre donde caminas bastante. Sin embargo vale mucho la pena.
Jaime fue un increíble guía , es súper amable y te explica todo a la perfección. Habla contigo y te aconseja cosas.
