Sachsenhausen is known for being the site of a concentration camp run by the Nazi Party during World War II. Travelers now go to the area to visit its exhibitions—which act as a memorial to the courageous men and women who lost their lives there. With this private tour, a guide shows you around the site to help you learn about its history and answer any questions you have.
Sachsenhausen was built in 1936 around the time that the Nazis were using the Olympic Games as a showcase for their dictatorship. The early camps were built to crush any potential opposition from the left but within a short time had become filled with groups and individuals targeted by the regime because of their race, religion, sexuality and supposed unfitness for society.
The closest permanent camp to Berlin, and the second purpose-built camp, Sachsenhausen was intended as a model camp for all the camps to follow. Visiting the Memorial today will help you understand the evolution not only of the camp system itself but the overarching narrative of the dictatorship itself - from persecution to annihilation.
On the fringes of a national park lies the infamous site of Sachsenhausen. Incarcerating primarily political prisoners, the camp saw the deaths of 30,000 people. Witness its preserved barracks and sparse living conditions, observe the remains of the hugely emotive execution facilities, and begin to grasp the magnitude of the crimes committed here.
Learn about the daily life of its prisoners and about its largest ever seen counterfeit currency operation, and a Nazi strategy to affect the economies of the allied forces. Hear how the horrors continued after WWII as the Soviets commandeered it for their own undesirable means.

We were very lucky to have Hannah as our guide who was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to answer all the questions we had. We left with lots of new information and would highly recommend this tour for anyone with an interest in this topic.
What can I say - Hannah was the best tour guide we have ever had by far ! Her ability to convey knowledge in a respectful & engaging manner puts her in a league above other guides. The tour is well organised and covered everything we expected.
Our tour guide was Georgia. She was knowledgeable and informative but more than that she was so empathetic to the trauma that real people suffered here. Why can’t we learn as humans that we are all equal, no better than anyone else.
