Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp

Camp wall.  Innocent.  Those passing by ignored the screams.


 Main Entrance.  Zone A.


View through to Zone Z.


 The ideal camp.  Equilateral triangle. One guard house, all avenues visible.  


Corpse Chamber.

 Ramp from Corpse Chamber.

Hospital.  Experiments.

Single person cell.  Solitary confinement for weeks on end.


Empty spaces now where rows of huts once stood.


 Parade ground. Every morning.  Everyone accounted for.  Soviet liberation memorial.


Zone Z.  Gas.  Bullet through back of head. Incinerators.


Shooting range.  Not efficient enough.


Zone Z.  Memorial.


1936-1945 - Concentration camp, mostly political prisoners (200,000 interned)
1945-1950 - Soviet Special camp No.1, mostly politcal prisoners (60,000 interned)
