Berlin is great for parties and long walks with friends, but it's also a city marked by profound historical events. A visit to the Sachsenhausen-Oranienburg Nazi concentration camp offers a sobering perspective on this darker chapter of history.

Primarily housing political prisoners during World War II, the camp's history is a stark reminder of the past.
