Question 2

What to expect During this tour?

Accepted Answer

The Sachsenhausen concentration camp was built in 1936 by internees from other camps and was the first to be built under the New Chief of Police, the infamous SS Leader Heinrich Himmler. It was designed to be the standard for other camps – both in its escape-proof layout, and its abusive treatment of prisoners, with over 200,000 people imprisoned there between 1936-45. At first, prisoners included opponents of the Nazis, and later it received Jews, Sinti and Roma, homosexuals, and “anti-socials”. You will learn about the appalling treatment of prisoners, and after a very emotional tour, you will be able to pay your respects at the National Memorial created in 1961 inside the camp, before returning to Berlin.
