Sachsenhausen Memorial (main entrance: station A where prisoners were checked in)
"Hard work will set you free" a way to taunt prisoners as they walked in, giving them hope that if they worked hard they would get out, once they got in they realized this would never happen, there were no successful escapes from this camp but thousands were killed here either by being worked to death, starved, beaten or suicide
the time the prisoners, what was left of them, were released
uniform, everyone wore the same thing, had their head shaven, names taken away from them, given a number instead and a color triangle to say what type of prisoner they were, jewish, criminal, political, homosexual, jehovah witness, this was a way to humiliate and dehumanize them to gain psychological control.
where bodies where cremated
before people were killed they would be told they were going to the doctor to get a check up but it was all to see if they had fill ins for cavities, silver, anything that would give them worth, if they did or didn't they would be marked with an x or an o once they were killed they people would know which bodies to remove the silver from.
where bodies where stored
berlin wall
famous german soup
train station
hitlers bunker
where Einstein taught

Bye Bye Berlin!
