The Entrance Gate: Grim Reality of Freedom

Feel the weight of dishonesty as you pass the iron gate labelled “Arbeit Macht Frei,” (Work Sets You Free). This gateway represented false promise, guiding inmates into a realm of unspeakable violence. Our guide will go over the terrible reality behind this sardonic expression and the destiny those who crossed it faced.

Stories of Survival Inside the Barracks: Life

Enter a rebuilt prisoner barrack and see personally the small, appalling living quarters. Three high wooden bunk beds packed quarters, dirty surroundings made daily existence intolerable. Learn horrifying tales of how prisoners suffered disease, malnutrition, and cruel treatment under the direction of their captors.

The Punishment Cells: a sinister corner of the camp

Sachsenhausen’s punishment cells were tucked behind sturdy concrete walls for anyone who disobeyed camp regulations. Prisoners experienced here execution, torture, and solitary incarceration. Discover the horrible penalties meted out in these cells as well as the eerie quiet that permeates this section of the camp.

The Camp Infirmary – Medical Experiments and Suffering

The so-called camp “hospital” was anything but a place of healing. Instead, it became a site of medical experimentation, where prisoners were subjected to inhumane procedures under the guise of scientific research. Our guides will share shocking details about the experiments conducted here and the suffering endured by those used as test subjects.

Station Z: The Last Resort

Station Z’s foundations expose the sad destiny of many inmates. The execution facilities of the camp—gas chambers and firing squads—were housed on this location. Here we stop to consider the lessons history has imparted and to honour the victims. Here history confronts us and demands that we never forget.
