"Arbeit macht frei" is a German phrase meaning "work makes (you) free."

This was the gate at the entry of the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp through which thousands of people of many races were marched by the Nazis to their death. I left through these gates shocked at the pure evil of what I learnt human beings were capable of.

The following excerpt from the camp commandant at his trial and is a graphical example.

- Kaindl: Until mid of 1943, prisoners were killed by shooting or hanging. For the mass exterminations, we used a special room in the infirmary. There was a height gauge and a table with an eye scope. There were also some SS wearing doctor uniforms. There was a hole at the back of the height gauge. While a SS was measuring the height of a prisoner, another one placed his gun in the hole and killed him by shooting in his neck. Behind the height gauge there was another room where we played music in order to cover the noise of the shooting.

"Wir haben hier mit meinen 2 kleinen Enkeln eine wunderschöne Woche verbracht, die Wohnung und der große Garten sind sehr schön und wir haben in der Umgebung und am See einiges unternommen. Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war sehr verständnisvoll und angenehm."

"Perfekter Ort, um dem Altagsstress zu entfliehen. Schöne Einrichtung, alles da was man so braucht. Alles sehr gepflegt und sauber. Netter Kontakt mit den Vermietern. Idealer Standort für ausgedehnte Radtouren. Oder ab Bernau mit der S Bahn nach Berlin rein. Badesee gleich um die Ecke."
