Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Bus Tour in English from Berlin

Overview

With this private, modern, air-con bus tour to the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial, your professional, English-speaking guide will provide a commentary en route, preparing you with background information on the early years of the Nazi camp system. Drive through Oranienburg, the town where the camp was built and learn about how much the locals actually knew. Sachsenhausen - the first concentration camp that was purposely built, opened in 1936 and was created to control, and intimdate the prisoners with brutal efficiency. Enter the old barracks, learn about daily life for the inmates of the camp, and how slave labour, starvation, disease, torture and death were a part of daily life. See the execution pit where people were gassed, shot or hanged by the brutal SS guards. Walk through the small prison, pathology centre and infirmary where experimentation and murder took place. Insider Tour donates €3 towards the restoration and upkeep of the former concentration camp.
