The tour with an French guide starts at the meeting point of Potsdamer Platz no. 10 (S/U-Bahn Potsdamer Platz). We take from there a train to the city of Oranienburg. You will need a ticket for the zones ABC.

The visit to the former Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp begins at the Memorial entrance, where we learn about its role as a model camp in the Nazi system. We continue to the former SS Officers’ Casino, a stark contrast to the prisoners’ reality. Through Tower A, the main gate, we see how the camp’s layout enforced total control. On the Roll Call Square, we hear about the long, punishing daily roll calls. In Barracks 38 and 39, we learn about the persecution of Jewish prisoners. The former camp kitchen, now a museum, shows documents and testimonies about forced labor and daily life. At the ruins of Station Z, the site of the gas chamber and crematoria, we confront the camp’s function as a place of extermination. The tour ends at the infirmary and pathology lab, where medical experiments and abuse were carried out.

From the train station of Oranienburg, your guide take you back to Berlin.
