Embark on a journey through history with our comprehensive "Never Again" tour at the Sachsenhausen Memorial, beginning in the city of Oranienburg. As we step into the past, we unravel the roots of Hitler's ascent to power, the strategic selection of this location for the camp, and the chilling history of concentration camps. Discover how the city endured wartime bombings, leaving the camp untouched.

Our walk from the train station leads us to the visitors' center, where detailed models of the camp elucidate the physical structures designed for control and the perpetuation of superiority over prisoners. Uncover the unsettling transformation of the former SS training camp into today's Brandenburg police academy, a stark reminder of the site's dark history.

Delve into the heart of the SS troop camp and the head of the camp's house, where officers callously enjoyed family time amidst prisoners' suffering. Explore the grim reality of sex work by female prisoners, punctuated by the frequent visits of reporters, ambassadors, and humanitarian organizations, raising the haunting question, "Who knew?"

Tower A beckons with its chilling "Perpetrators' Room" exhibition, showcasing the indoctrination of the SS and portraits of officers revealing the power of their brainwashing. Witness the reign of terror they enjoyed, the daily roll calls, and the exploitative shoe testing track for the "lowest" categories of prisoners, exposing how the Nazis profited from the prisoners' agony and labor.

Embark on an autonomous exploration of the prisoners' barracks and the camp kitchen, where Neo-nazis denying the Holocaust have launched attacks. Uncover connections to the present, including the rise of the AfD, a German far-right group.

Station Z awaits, narrating the mass murder of Soviet prisoners, including child soldiers, and detailing the operation of the gas chambers and crematorium that witnessed unspeakable atrocities.

Finally, the infirmary unveils the depths of racism, control over women's bodies, eugenics, and the unsettling truth of prisoners treated as lab rats for the career advancement of Nazi doctors. This profound journey challenges us to confront the past, understand the present, and strive for a future that rejects the atrocities of history.
