In reply to Matt. I agree - it is an important place to visit as so much happened there that affected the people of Berlin.

Glad that you also decided to visit Sachsenhausen. Difficult to visit considering how depressing the subject matter is, but I always try to impress on people the importance of the history when visiting Berlin – and that it is a trip worth taking.

In reply to christina thomas. I think it helps us to remember what people had to endure and hope that nothing like this happens again.

Powerful story! Thank you for sharing your experiences in such a gruesome place. I know I would have the same reactions and find it unimaginable what human beings were capable of doing to other human beings because of intolerance. I am glad that places like this still remain to be visited so that no one ever forgets.

I had the chance to visit Dachau last year but I passed it, I regret it a lot. I’ll be going to Auschwitz this Summer, and maybe to Sachsenhausen as well, since I’ll be in Germany, and I didnt know about it !

In reply to Bob R. I can only imagine the feelings and emotions you went through when visiting a site knowing that loved ones had been forced to live in the horrendous conditions. Whilst Sachsenhausen didn't see the brutality of Auschwitz it has left some very strong feelings with me and I know that should I ever visit either Auschwitz or Dachau these will only multiple.

These are difficult places to visit, but nonetheless need to be seen. I visited Auschwitz a couple weeks ago, and Dachau several years ago – the latter to follow the forced footsteps of my grandfather and great-grandfather who were held there. I’m still a little numb from Auschwitz.
