Never Again Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp

Memorial and Museum Sachsenhausen

Our walk from the train station leads us to the visitors’ center, where detailed models of the camp elucidate the physical structures designed for control and the perpetuation of superiority over prisoners. Uncover the unsettling transformation of the former SS training camp into today’s Brandenburg police academy, a stark reminder of the site’s dark history. Embark on an autonomous exploration of the prisoners’ barracks and the camp kitchen, where Neo-nazis denying the Holocaust have launched attacks. Uncover connections to the present, including the rise of the AfD, a German far-right group. Finally, the infirmary unveils the depths of racism, control over women’s bodies, eugenics, and the unsettling truth of prisoners treated as lab rats for the career advancement of Nazi doctors. This profound journey challenges us to confront the past, understand the present, and strive for a future that rejects the atrocities of history.
