No better way to experience the Sachsenhausen Memorial
Exceptional opportunity to learn about the camps with a comprehensive backdrop of German history from pre-war to present. Aaron, our guide, is an avid German, military, and world historian. Couldn’t ask for a better guide and tour.

Perfect!
This was a perfect way to start our Holocaust journey. Aaron was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the camp. He taught us things we did not know as he discussed very difficult topics. I highly recommend him and this tour for those that really want to learn.
L
Awesome experience!
Aaron was amazing! He knows what he is talking about and this is why this activity was so interessing! He took his time to explain everything he knows about Sachsenhausen. The informations I learned from him was not heavy even if the WW2 history is a very large topic. He gave me some time alone to visit some parts of the concentration camp. I have no regret!
N
Best Guide ever
Aaron was very knowledgeable and passed on his wealth of knowledge to our two teenage children. He also went beyond the normal guide duties in showing us the best way back to our hotel.
