Built in the forests north of Berlin 1936 as the model camp and HQ of the entire concentration camp system, Sachsenhausen played a pivotal role in Holocaust history.

Sachsenhausen served as the model camp in terms of design and administration, here the commandant of Auschwitz Höss was trained, and Birkenau boss Moll. Here the prisoners of the Reich capital were housed, and long term hostage prisoners, European royalty, politicians, Stalin's step son, relatives of Churchill, would be assassins of Hitler, as well as a total of 200,000 prisoners of all denominations over 9 years. At least 50,000 never left the camp alive. Here the Nazi gas vans and chambers were pioneered. Used by the Soviets and East Germany it is an important place in the history of the 20th C.
