The other special barracks were the infirmary for the dead and dying. Medical experiments, including vivisection (dissection of live victims), were carried out in the operating room. Downstairs were facilities for storing corpses.
Schloss Oranienburg
The oldest Baroque palace in the Margraviate of Brandenburg.
Despite the lack of advertising, the camp is quite well presented with a number of excellent exhibits, especially the newer post-GDR sections. Some of the older exhibits, however, are only in German (and occasionally Russian). Nearly all the buildings on the site are authentic-looking reconstructions, though many old building sites are only marked by stones. Entrance to the camp and to all the exhibitions is free. Many exhibitions are closed on Mondays but the camp remains open. A small shop by the entrance stocks mainly books about concentration camps and the Nazi era. You may also purchase pamphlets about KZ Sachsenhausen in several languages from here (a token €0.50 each).
