Join us on a guided tour of Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp for an emotive and thought-provoking experience.

Highlights
- How Sachsenhausen was intended as a role model for other camps
- The largest counterfeiting operations during the war
- The prisoner’s daily routine

Most Nazi concentration camps where located in occupied territories far away from ordinary Germans, but Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp was just 45km north of Berlin on the outskirts of the picturesque town of Oranienburg.

The camp was founded in 1936 by SS leader Heinrich Himmler, who wanted a ‘modern, up-to-date, ideal and easily expandable concentration camp’. What he got was a murder machine that would claim the lives of more than 30,000 prisoners. Sachsenhausen’s notoriety did not end with the collapse of the Nazi regime at the end of the war; their Soviet victors used it for five years, killing 12,000 of their own prisoners.

During the visit you will see the SS training camp, the yard command, ‘Tower A’, the barracks, the prison camp, the gallows, the kitchen and laundry, the pit and a photographic exhibition among others. The camp was notable for the number of high-profile prisoners such as former prime ministers of France, Norway and Austria, a Grand Prix champion and Stalin’s son.

Sachsenhausen was also the location of one of the largest counterfeiting operations during the war, in which prisoners were forced to produce fake British and American banknotes in an attempt to make the Allied economies unstable. This criminal enterprise was dramatised in Oscar-winning film The Counterfeiters. Learn about this and other aspects of camp life such as the prisoners’ routine, the forced labour they performed such as the shoe-testing track and the brutal punishments meted out to them.

Step back in time through glories gone by with a tour to Potsdam – the Versailles of Germany.

Highlights
- Walk through a Unesco World Heritage Site
- Learn of momentous events that saw Potsdam at the centre of the action
- Indulge in the beauty of Potsdam’s palaces

Stroll around the “Versailles of Germany”, with a fascinating tour of the charming city of Postdam. Steeped in history, you will learn about the interesting history of Frederick II, otherwise known as Frederick “the Great.” This ruler was a passionate lover of the arts and culture, and thus he made great efforts to beautify the city of Potsdam with manifold palaces and gardens, some of which seem to belong among the pages of a fairy tale.

It’s hard to imagine that this beautiful city was the scene of heavy bombing during World War II and the Cold War. Today it is a recognized World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and the capital of Brandenburg since 1990 and attempts to regain its former glory since the age of Frederick II.

Potsdam’s more recent history is also a matter of interest: on this tour we invite you to cross the bridge where the CIA and KGB spies used to exchange confidential information during the Cold War. We will also pass by the palace where Stalin himself met with Winston Churchill and Harry S. Truman in order to divide Germany, an event that would bring danger and drama to the lives of many.

Delve deep into the Dutch Quarter and explore the marvellous Sanssouci Park, as well as a handful of other breathtaking palaces from the Hohenzollern dynasty in days long gone. Stroll through the Old Market Square and the evocative historic centre home of the Brandenburg Gate. This trip invites you to indulge in a leisurely walk, the best way to spend a day outdoors while discovering a bit more of Germany’s astounding culture, history and traditions.
