We had the remarkable opportunity to join a walking tour of Sachsenhausen. The three-hour tour seemed to pass quickly as Jenny skillfully guided us through the site, offering profound and insightful commentary. Her in-depth stories about the camp's history were both educational and deeply moving. I strongly recommend this tour as an essential experience when visiting Berlin.
