Description

Please note that this tour is offered in the German language only. The Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial is one of Germany’s most significant sites of remembrance. On this guided tour, you will not only learn about the historical background but also hear personal stories that bring this history to life. Unlike extensive tours with 30 or more participants, this experience is limited to a maximum of 7 people. This small-group setting ensures a more personal atmosphere, where you can engage directly with your guide, ask questions, and reflect at your own pace — all in your native German language. As a licensed guide, I have spent years meeting survivors and eyewitnesses who entrusted me with their memories. Their voices live on in the tour — stories of suffering, resilience, courage, and humanity. These authentic accounts transform the visit into more than a history lesson: it becomes an encounter with real people and their experiences. Walking through the former concentration camp, you will discover how Sachsenhausen was structured, its role within the Nazi system, and the diverse groups of prisoners who were held here. Instead of focusing only on numbers and dates, the tour emphasises the personal stories that history books often leave untold. This tour is designed for anyone seeking both knowledge and a meaningful remembrance experience — in the German language.
