"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.

"Outstanding hotel - large, modern rooms and comfortable beds, perfect location in the heart of Berlin a couple blocks from Unter den Linden, with lots of shops and restaursnts naerby, close to a bus route that goes to Potsdamer Platz, S-Bahn and U-Bahn stations (lines 5 and 6) which goes to the Central Train Station, and a stop for two of the hop on/hop off bus tours. The hotel also has a pool and a fantastic breakfast buffet, and staff are friendly and helpful. A perfect place to stay when visiting Berlin!"
