Visit the former Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial with a certified professional guide. This French-language tour from Berlin offers a powerful insight into one of the first Nazi camps, built in 1936 to imprison political opponents, Jews, Roma, and others. Learn about the daily life of prisoners, the SS training system, forced labor, medical experiments, and the camp’s role in Nazi propaganda. You'll see the Appellplatz, barracks 38 and 39, the former kitchen, infirmary, and the remains of Station Z (gas chamber and crematorium). The tour also addresses the site's use under Soviet occupation. Your guide will share survivor testimonies and historical context to help you understand this key site of Nazi repression and today’s work of remembrance. The guided visit at the Memorial itself lasts about 3 hours.

Memorial and Museum Sachsenhausen
The visit to the former Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp begins at the Memorial entrance, where we learn about its role as a model camp in the Nazi system. We continue to the former SS Officers’ Casino, a stark contrast to the prisoners’ reality. Through Tower A, the main gate, we see how the camp’s layout enforced total control. On the Roll Call Square, we hear about the long, punishing daily roll calls. In Barracks 38 and 39, we learn about the persecution of Jewish prisoners. The former camp kitchen, now a museum, shows documents and testimonies about forced labor and daily life. At the ruins of Station Z, the site of the gas chamber and crematoria, we confront the camp’s function as a place of extermination. The tour ends at the infirmary and pathology lab, where medical experiments and abuse were carried out.

5.00Our guide told us about the lives of different people, victims but also executioners. He also gave us a history before the war to understand the context of the creation of concentration and extermination camps. The tour and explanations given of the buildings were full of emotion.
Interesting tour by a documented guide

5.00We made the visit with our 3 teenagers. Guide Arthur was very interesting and captivated our teenagers with anecdotes and a well-honed ride. Counting the 2h30 transport, the time on site is actually relatively short and it passes very quickly. We barely have time to visit the exhibitions and read some panels.
