Max 25 Guests
Sachsenhausen was built in 1936 as a “model” camp, engineered like a machine to break people through routine, surveillance, and terror. Seeing it in person is unforgettable because the geometry makes the intent obvious, from the gate to the roll call square. Meet at Friedrichstraße, ride by coach to Oranienburg, then enter through Tower A to trace the barracks, Station Z, and the infirmary with an expert historian. It’s the clearest way to understand Berlin’s darkest system.
