We got up early to leave Berlin and head out to the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp, which is located in northern Berlin or just north of Berlin depending on how you look at it. As you might guess, it wasn't exactly party time but it was a good trip in terms of experience. Most of the barracks and prisoner buildings were no longer there, but the large stone buildings were mostly still fully intact.There are several exhibits around the camp, mostly centering around either daily life in the camp or the history of the camp, with numerous smaller exhibits focusing on smaller details. We didn't have a lot of time, but I wandered about the camp looking at some of the old guard towers and buildings, including several memorials.
Finally we loaded back up on the bus and started our trip back to Copenhagen. Unlike the trip to Berlin, this time I actually got a bunch of reading done. When drove back to Rostock where everybody stocked up on cheap German beer and chocolate and we took the ferry back to Denmark.
