Stop 1
Walk through the town of Oranienburg, which was deeply intertwined with the Nazi regime, both through its proximity to Sachsenhausen concentration camp and the direct involvement of local businesses in the exploitation of forced labor. Many local factories, including those producing war materials, relied on prisoners from Sachsenhausen for slave labor, contributing to the Nazi war effort. The town's residents were either aware of or complicit in the suffering occurring just outside their doorsteps. Some townspeople directly participated in the Nazi regime's operations, while others turned a blind eye, accepting the economic benefits and avoiding confrontation with the brutality taking place.

Stop 2
During the 1936 Olympics, hosted by Nazi Germany, slave laborers were forced to build a new concentration camp just north of Berlin, intended to hold the Nazis’ political enemies. This camp was Sachsenhausen, and during the next decade some 200,000 people were imprisoned within the camp before it was evacuated by the Soviets in 1945. For another five years, the Soviets used the camp to imprison 60,000 war criminals, including Nazis and Nazi collaborators.
