Sachsenhausen: Concentration camp 
Description
This quiet town was the home to Northern Germany’s main Concentration camp during the Second World War, and after the war, the Soviets used it as a 'Special Camp' for dealing with their prisoners. The site was the 'model camp' and it was from here that the entire concentration camp system across the Nazi occupied lands was run. The site has a visitor’s centre that has recently been built. From here, you can hire very comprehensive audio guides, which take you around the only parts of the site that are remaining and help to put into context some of the things that happened here and tell the stories of some of the prisoners, some who survived, and many who did not.
Charge
Free to look around the site, charge for the Audio guides (and a deposit such as a passport or driving licence is required)
