    We had a very good guide. Het name was Rebecca. She explained everything very well and took the time to give as much as possible formation. She spoke very Clear and understandable. The trip on itself was very impressive. It was the first time for us to visit a memorial camp like this.

  • Step into one of the most significant historical sites of the Nazi regime with a powerful and informative guided visit to the Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum.

    Meet your expert historian guide in central Berlin and take a short train ride to Oranienburg. From the station, it's a 20-minute walk to the camp's entrance—an important part of understanding the prisoners’ arrival route.

    What to expect

    Sachsenhausen was established in 1936 as a model concentration camp and became the blueprint for many that followed. It imprisoned over 200,000 people—including political opponents, Jews, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others targeted by the Nazi regime.

    • Gas chamber & crematorium ruins: Witness the remains of the extermination facilities used during the camp’s final years.
