One of the most interesting parts of our trip to Germany was the visit to the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp in Germany. The trip there was a short/train trip from Berlin. Once arriving in the train station in Sachsenhausen, the tour guide took us on a 20 minute walk to the gates of the camp – the same walk many of the persons incarcerated there had to take when sent to the camp! The hands on the clock are painted on at 11:08 because that is the time that the Soviet allied troops liberated the camp in 1945!
