Your Itinerary

Oranienburg

Walk through the town of Oranienburg, which was deeply intertwined with the Nazi regime, both through its proximity to Sachsenhausen concentration camp and the direct involvement of local businesses in the exploitation of forced labor. Many local factories, including those producing war materials, relied on prisoners from Sachsenhausen for slave labor, contributing to the Nazi war effort. The town's residents were either aware of or complicit in the suffering occurring just outside their doorsteps. Some townspeople directly participated in the Nazi regime's operations, while others turned a blind eye, accepting the economic benefits and avoiding confrontation with the brutality taking place.

Memorial and Museum Sachsenhausen

During the 1936 Olympics, hosted by Nazi Germany, slave laborers were forced to build a new concentration camp just north of Berlin, intended to hold the Nazis’ political enemies. This camp was Sachsenhausen, and during the next decade some 200,000 people were imprisoned within the camp before it was evacuated by the Soviets in 1945. For another five years, the Soviets used the camp to imprison 60,000 war criminals, including Nazis and Nazi collaborators.

Gedenkstatte und Museum Sachsenhausen

You will walk through the haunting grounds of the former Sachsenhausen concentration camp, guided by an expert who will share the stories of the unimaginable suffering and remarkable resilience of the prisoners. As you explore the camp, you'll learn about the brutality inflicted by the SS guards and the daily horrors that prisoners endured. Your guide will also highlight the efforts made to preserve the memory of those who suffered, ensuring that the atrocities of the past are never forgotten. This immersive experience offers a powerful opportunity to reflect on the human cost of history and the importance of remembrance today.
