You will be picked up directly from your hotel or a prearranged meeting point.
At the end of the tour you will be dropped off at your hotel.
Your professional, local guide will meet you at your hotel and introduce you to the tour.
Before your visit to Sachsenhausen, your guide will contextualize the apparatus of terror in Nazi Germany and the concentration camp system at the former headquarters of the SS and Gestapo in Berlin.
To prepare further for your visit to Sachsenhausen we will journey through the 20,000 square-meter field of 2711 imposing concrete stelae. Your guide will provide detailed background information on the holocaust and share stories of the everyday bravery of the persecuted.
Before boarding the train to Sachsenhausen, explore the backstreets of Berlin's former Jewish Quarter, where a community was devastated under Nazism.
Next you will witness the horrors of Nazism at the memorial site of the largest concentration camp in the vicinity of Berlin, where over 10,000 inmates perished as a result of starvation, disease, and systematic murder perpetrated by the SS. Pass through the camp gates beneath the chilling words ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ (‘work will set you free’), and explore the Jewish Barracks, the Kitchen and Laundry block, the Appelplatz roll call area, the camp prison, the pathology and hospital buildings and Station Z – the execution grounds and killing centre.
At the end of the tour your guide will accompany you back to your hotel.
