Germany's First Concentration Camp FLASH VERSION
Sachsenhausen Memorial, located about an hour's drive north of Berlin, holds the remnants of Germany's first large concentration camp. A total of 200,000 prisoners were held during the camp's years of operation from 1936 to 1945, and tens of thousands of people died. Sascha Klepzig, a German student, takes groups through the tree-lined site.

Labor Camp, Sachsenhausen's first prisoners were political opponents, and later, groups considered socially or racially inferior, such as Jews, blacks, homosexuals and alcoholics, says Berlin resident Sascha Klepzig, who gives tours of the labor camp and memorial site in Oranienburg.
