A Personal Journey to Sachsenhausen
With the following programme you will have your students engaged as they do the exploring instead of you talking.
Humans Are More Than Numbers
Follow a real person’s journey into the camp.
Sachsenhausen - Behind Every Story Stands a Human
Sachsenhausen was one of the most significant concentration camps in Nazi Germany, where thousands of people were imprisoned, tortured, and murdered. This tour differs from traditional tours by focusing on the individual fates behind the cold numbers and statistics. Rather than simply observing, you will delve deep into the personal stories of the people who lived and died here.
What It Involves
Each group is assigned the story of a specific person—a former prisoner at Sachsenhausen. Your task is to bring these life stories to light so we can remember them as individuals. Additionally, each group will be responsible for exploring a specific area of the camp, such as the hospital, the entrance, or the Jewish section. This linking of personal stories with physical locations will give you a deeper understanding of the conditions and experiences the prisoners faced.
At the end of the tour, groups will share their discoveries and reflections so that together we can honor the people who were reduced to numbers but who had lives, dreams, and hopes.
Purpose
This group work will not only serve as a reflection on the past but also a reminder of the importance of humanity and compassion in a time when they were absent.
By zooming in on the small stories, we enhance our understanding of the broader historical perspective. This experience will sharpen your students' personal interest in learning.
