Overview

The concentration camps of the Nazi era continue to appal and horrify the world. These were places of forced labour, medical abuse, torture and mass murder.

Many diverse people suffered in Sachsenhausen, from homosexuals to pacifists, priests to artists, journalists to Jews, resisters to ethnic minorities slandered as “gypsies”.

In this tour of Sachsenhausen’s former prisoner area, we will share some of their stories. We will build an image of life inside the camp, explain how this hideous episode of history escalated and address Sachsenhausen's specific role in the Holocaust. A tour here is an emotionally challenging experience, but also extremely worthwhile.

Tina was our tour guide for the Sachsenhausen Memorial concentration camp. We were on our with our high school students. We spent 3 hours and I’m sure glad we had her as our tour guide. She presented all the information and stories with respect and passion. The tour was very moving and intense and I appreciate how much we all added to our knowledge of what happened in these camps. I’d do all my tours with her if I could.

While it has been about a month since I was in Berlin, I was on one of Tina's tours of Sachsenhausen and it was such a powerful experience. She was able to provide an in-depth perspective as to what it was like inside of a concentration camp with the knowledge she has. Highly recommend booking a tour with her for this place or anywhere in Berlin. Thank you Tina!!

My EFT Group tour of the Memorial and Museum Sachsenhausen, led by Tina, was a thought-provoking experience. Her insightful reflections on the museum's exhibits brought the history to life and left me feeling moved.

Tina led us expertly on a private tour of Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. Tina was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the site, having earned her certification to offer tours there. Tina also was thoughtful and sensitive about the way she presented the information and stories. Highly recommended experience that you simply cannot match touring the site on your own.

We travelled with teenagers aged 16,17 and 18 years to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial Tour from Berlin with Tina our tour guide. She was absolutely fantastic, so knowledgeable and gave us a highly informative, passionate and interactive experience throughout. I highly recommend doing this tour with Tina.
