Tour Itinerary

Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial Tour

Sachsenhausen, just outside the Berlin city limits, was the nerve center of the Nazi concentration camp system. One of the first camps to open to the public, Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial stands as a reminder of the darkest days of Berlin's history. Our most important tour: we donate a percentage of the tour's profits to the memorial.

Stuck behind the Iron Curtain for 60 years and hard to reach, it is less well known than Dachau or Auschwitz. However, during WWII Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp was a place in which over 50,000 abused prisoners perished, as well as a school of brutality for training SS guards to work in this and other camps. Sachsenhausen's terrible history continued after 1945 as the Soviet occupiers took it over for a further 5 years to house their political enemies.

Today's recently modernized Sachsenhausen Memorial is the heart of 21st century Berlin's commemoration to the horrors of the last century.

Please note that on Mondays the memorial is open however certain exhibits are closed to the public and unfortunately not part of the tour.

An ABC transit card is required for this tour.

"My wife, Margo, and I have just returned from a short trip to Berlin. We took your tour to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp, and we were totally amazed to what depths humanity can sink to. Our guide for the day was Jesse and his attention to detail was absolutely fantastic, he managed to bring just the right tone to the whole day. I am sure that he must have been exhausted at the end. We would not hesitate to recommend your tours to anyone."

"My friend and I went on the concentration camp tour... I just wanted to reiterate how appreciative we both were of the dedication and professionalism put forth during the tour. You demonstrated an extensive knowledge of the subject, and seemed to really care about answering all questions in a thoughtful manner, emphasizing the importance of the topic. I would have paid a far greater fee for a service that was so undeniably impactful and moving. Your obvious motivation is to educate as many people as possible, both young and old, which is extremely admirable. I would recommend your tours to anyone visiting or even living in Berlin."
