Overview

We delve deep into the psychology of Nazi terror. See how atrocities developed from bad to worst in only 9 years. The system of concentration camps changed from protective custody via slave labour up to the "final solution"death camps.
3,000 inmates had to build this model camp in the forest during the Berlin Olympic Games 36. The camps architecture is a manifest for the SS´s omnipotent power over their victims.
This camp hosted the overall administration for more than 1.000 camps.
We visit authentic baracks, the death „Station Z“ as well as the medical research facilities of the "sick barracks". We talk about remembrance culture and societal learning in the mirror of the times, about the SS as an organization of a terrorist "elite", about perpetrators and victims.
The tour is characterized by a high density of information.
We talk about different storylines that happened here simultaneously.
Our guides have the official certification of the memorial site.

What To Expect

Stiftung Neue Synagoge Berlin - Centrum Judaicum

See an amazing building in the heart of the former Jewish quarter of Berlin. It was build when the German Empire was formed. Jewish people were given then full citizen rights - after fighting in the French-German war 1870/71. See the fantastic but also alien Mauric architecture and hear the story behind. Learn about the variety of Jewish life in Berlin in the 1920ies. Learn why the biggest Synagogue in Germany survived the November Pogromes 1938. It is the story of a brave Prussian policeman following laws instead of a dictator. We will follow up this terrible history of burning Synagogues then at the memorial site in the barracks. We talk about the growing Nazi atrocities against Jewish people which finally ended in killing 6 million humans in death camps like Auschwitz.

Oranienburg

After a 45 minutes ride we get of the train in the town Oranienburg – exactly the way inmates arrived. We will talk about how Hitler overtook power and how the first „wild camps“ were build up - provisoric close to big cities. The first inmates were mostly political oponents as the Nazis in the first years had the focus on securing the power. We talk about how visible inmates had been in the town. They had to do slave work on so many places outside the camp and were often walking daily between camp and worksite. This typical German small town with a lot of industry was taking massive benefit. After the night oft he long knifes in 1934 the SS took over from the SA. The terror organisation was then running the camp and a lot of SS men were settling in town. Get the story of the untypical heavy air bombing on that site by US bombers in the last weeks of the war.

We will pass some remaining SS villas – a settlement created as a belt around the concentration camp. Learn how the SS was rewarding evil with career and wealth.

They felt themselves as the elite organisation that has to do the „necessary evil“. Learn about how ideology and psychology was manipulating men into monsters.
