About this experience
This tour provides a comprehensive visit to the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial, starting from Berlin City Center. Participants will meet their licensed guide, Aaron, and take a short train ride to the camp. The tour is suited for those interested in World War II history and the Holocaust, but may not be suitable for younger children due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter. Aaron, an Official Certified Sachsenhausen Tour Guide, offers extensive historical knowledge and insight into the camp's significance as the first purpose-built concentration camp within the Third Reich, located closest to Berlin. The tour examines the evolution of the concentration camp system, detailing the various functions, crimes, and atrocities that occurred from 1936 until its liberation in April 1945. Participants should be aware that this is a public tour and group sizes may vary. It is important to prepare for a somber experience as the tour touches on heavy themes related to suffering and loss. The tour includes a train ticket but does not cover additional personal expenses.
