This guided small group walking tour of Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp will help you understand what life was like as a prisoner and how some prisoners were able to survive while tens of thousands perished in conditions of appalling brutality. This camp became a training ground for the SS and the site of the headquarters of the whole concentration camp system. After the Nazis were defeated, the Soviets used this as a camp for their own political enemies; thousands more were to perish over the next five years. Your specially trained guide will explain why concentration camps were established by the Nazis, how the SS used the execution complex to perpetrate mass murder, attempted escapes, the death marches and how the East German regime manipulated the history of the camp for its own ends.
