History
Sachsenhausen was a principal concentration camp established by the SS in 1936 and later used by Soviet forces; Berlin itself bears visible layers from Prussian, Nazi, and Cold War eras.
Conservation
The memorial emphasizes preservation and education; visitors are asked to respect pathways and exhibits and to support the site through donations rather than intrusive photography.
