What you can expect

Visit the Sachsenhausen Memorial with an expert guide and gain insight into one of the most important and sobering chapters of German history.

Join our award-winning guided tour to Sachsenhausen, one of the most significant former concentration camp sites in Nazi Germany. This powerful and educational experience offers unique perspectives on the mechanisms of Nazi terror and the experiences of those imprisoned here.

Your journey begins in central Berlin, where our guides will welcome and assist you at the meeting point before travelling together by train to Oranienburg. Your expert guide will remain with you throughout the entire day, providing historical context, support, and thoughtful storytelling in a fully guided and stress-free experience.

Built in 1936 by the SS, Sachsenhausen served as a model camp and administrative centre for the entire Nazi concentration camp system. During the guided visit, you will explore important areas of the memorial site while learning about daily life in the camp, persecution under the Nazi regime, acts of resistance, and the camp’s post-war history under Soviet occupation.

Throughout the tour, your guide will share powerful personal stories of survival, solidarity, and remembrance, helping bring this difficult history into deeper context.

Following the tour, your guide will accompany the group safely back to Berlin at the conclusion of the day.

Sites visited during the tour include:

• Camp Administration Centre
• Roll Call Yard
• Station Z
• Jewish Barracks
• Punishment Cells
• Infirmary and Pathology Laboratory
• SS Training Camp
• Gallows
• Soviet Special Camp Memorial

This tour provides a respectful and thought-provoking exploration of one of the darkest periods of modern history while honouring the memory of those who suffered here.

Please note:
An ABC public transport ticket is required for travel between Berlin and Sachsenhausen. This can easily be purchased on the day with assistance from our staff.
