"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.

Maritim proArte Hotel Berlin

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel, everyone we met was friendly & professional. Great location, walkable to all major tourist sites & couple minutes walk from Fredrichstasse train station so very easy journey to/from airport. We had family suite for 4 which suited us perfectly. Lots of coffee shops & restaurants in the area, would highly recommend this hotel."

Radisson Collection Hotel, Berlin

10/10 Excellent

"This property is very well situated in Mitte, steps away from sights like Museuminsel, the Berlin Cathedral and the Humboldt Forum. Staff were friendly and efficient at check in. The property is very attractive and room will designed and spacious. An excellent base for exploring Berlin."

Park Inn by Radisson Berlin Alexanderplatz

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve always wanted to stay at this hotel because of its location to my family, but never have. This particular trip I absolutely needed to be next to Alexander plots for the convenience of my airplane departure, so I booked it here for three nights and it was absolutely perfect. I only needed a small room so the price was right. Staff was amazing with daily room cleaning to boot. Thank you so much for the great day. Would gladly recommend and do it again. Another one of the big draws, is that because you’re so close to the train station it makes it easy to get in and out, but the biggest plus was that you can get a Döner almost any time of the day. Perfect! A+."
