Located in the Brandenburg town of Oranienburg, it\u2019s a mere 35 kilometers north of Berlin. During the war, it was mostly home to political prisoners, which means that prisoners from all over Europe were brought there.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img title=\"Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp memorial\" src=\"http:\/\/deutschbitte.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/07\/img_0036.jpg\" alt=\"Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp memorial\" width=\"650\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the many memorials in the wooded area in front of the main gate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>My first experience with concentration camps was my visit to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kz-gedenkstaette-dachau.de\/index-e.html\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.kz-gedenkstaette-dachau.de\/index-e.html', 'Dachau');\" title=\"Dachau\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Dachau<\/strong><\/a> in June of 2010, which, for the most part, I did not enjoy. Certainly I have always been intrigued by historical events, and it was definitely interesting to see first hand a place that I have read about so many times. However, being in the actual camp was not something I was prepared for. Due to a combination of many things \u2013 the heavy visitor traffic, the hot weather, the emotional reality of it all \u2013 my reaction was visceral.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img title=\"sachsenhausen concentration camp neutrale zone\" src=\"http:\/\/deutschbitte.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/07\/img_0043.jpg\" alt=\"sachsenhausen concentration camp neutrale zone\" width=\"650\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The \u201cneutrale zone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>This time around, I decided to go because of a desire to increase my understanding, both of this country I have adopted as home and its people, as well as of the greater area in which I live. After all, Berlin is a bit like a pal of mine described it earlier today, a giant playground, but there is much much more to it that I have yet to discover and I feel that it is my obligation, particularly if I want to function in this society. And now that I live here and have been a member of German society for a year, the German mentality is something I am just beginning to understand on a more complex level.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img title=\"sachsenhausen concentration camp prisoner identifications\" src=\"http:\/\/deutschbitte.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/07\/img_0048.jpg\" alt=\"sachsenhausen concentration camp prisoner identifications\" width=\"650\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">A former prisoner\u2019s reconstruction of the different identification each of the prisoners had to wear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>In some ways, it makes sense how a society ordered in this way could give rise to something like the Third Reich, but it\u2019s a complicated and tricky kind of reality. That\u2019s not to say Germans are bad people, but more to make the point that they are organized, efficient, and follow the rules. This makes things run smoothly, most of the time, but I can see how dissent during the early-to-mid 1900s was not something the government responded well to. I am simplifying things here, but these are just some general, surface-level observations I have made.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img title=\"sachsenhausen concentration camp flowers\" src=\"http:\/\/deutschbitte.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/07\/img_0055.jpg\" alt=\"sachsenhausen concentration camp flowers\" width=\"650\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flowers and notes left in jail cells in the solitary confinement block.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>I have also seen how Germans wrestle with and confront their feelings about what occurred leading up to and during World War II in general, and about the Holocaust specifically. This takes the form of everything ranging from guilt, to a sense of responsibility and obligation to recognize and remain aware of what happened, to a backlash toward anything being regarded as remotely nationalistic, and more.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img title=\"sachsenhausen concentration camp statue\" src=\"http:\/\/deutschbitte.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/07\/img_0067.jpg?w=830&amp;h=553g\" alt=\"sachsenhausen concentration camp statue\" width=\"650\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">A statue bearing the names of all the countries that the various prisoners came from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>My overall impressions of Sachsenhausen were quite different than those of Dachau. Again, the external circumstances played a huge role; it was a beautiful day and there were not many visitors when we arrived (mid-afternoon). This allowed us to take our time and truly absorb the things we were interested in.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img title=\"sachsenhausen concentration camp Soviet Liberation Memorial\" src=\"http:\/\/deutschbitte.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/07\/img_0068.jpg\" alt=\"sachsenhausen concentration camp Soviet Liberation Memorial\" width=\"650\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Soviet Liberation Memorial, in the form of a tower reaching to the sky.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>There were many things I learned on my visit that maybe seem like common sense or were never factually apparent to me, but also either had never occurred to me before or I hadn\u2019t known about. The many exhibits here were also pretty thorough and intense. It gives a pretty in-depth look at the lives of the prisoners, which I appreciated. All in all, we spent three full hours exploring the grounds, but that was hardly enough time to cover even half of what was there. This is more like a full-day experience.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img title=\"sachsenhausen concentration camp execution trench\" src=\"http:\/\/deutschbitte.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/07\/img_0070.jpg\" alt=\"sachsenhausen concentration camp execution trench\" width=\"650\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The execution trench, where thousands of Soviets were killed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>And would I recommend it? Well, yes. One has to be in the proper mindset and have plenty of time to go. It\u2019s free, and although there is the possibility of guided tours for a small price, I prefer having the freedom to pick and choose what I want to see and explore things more than surface level. So how one tailors a visit is up to the individual.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"sachsenhausen concentration camp prisoner photographs 2\" src=\"http:\/\/deutschbitte.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/07\/img_0072.jpg\" alt=\"sachsenhausen concentration camp prisoner photographs 2\" width=\"650\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img title=\"sachsenhausen concentration camp prisoner photographs 1\" src=\"http:\/\/deutschbitte.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/07\/img_0071.jpg\" alt=\"sachsenhausen concentration camp prisoner photographs 1\" width=\"650\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photos of prisoners taken just before they were killed; the photographer smuggled out the negatives to release them to the public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ssb-share ssb-share-6429 defualt\" post_id=\"6429\">\n<div class=\"defualt-button-fb\"> <iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http:\/\/www.uberlin.co.uk\/sachsenhausen-concentration-camp\/&amp;width&amp;layout=button_count&amp;action=like&amp;show_faces=false&amp;share=false&amp;height=21&amp;appId=743541755673761\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; height:21px;\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"defualt-button-twitter\">        <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"\/sachsenhausen-concentration-camp\/\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"postMeta\">\n<div class=\"postMetaCategory\">Category: <a href=\"\/category\/places\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Places<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"postMetaTag\">Tags: <a href=\"\/tag\/out-of-berlin\/\" rel=\"tag\">Out of Berlin<\/a> : <a href=\"\/tag\/sachsenhausen\/\" rel=\"tag\">Sachsenhausen<\/a> : <a href=\"\/tag\/see-do\/\" rel=\"tag\">See &amp; Do<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"comments\">                                 <a href=\"\/sachsenhausen-concentration-camp\/#comments\">8 comments<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post hentry\">\n<h5 class=\"postDate\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2012-08-28T15:51:00+0000\">August 28, 2012<\/abbr><\/h5>\n<div class=\"postContent\">\n<h3 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"\/uberstyle-graefestrasse\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">\u00dcberstyle: Graefestrasse<\/a><\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"vcard author\">by <span class=\"fn\">Zo\u00eb Noble<\/span><\/h4>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p id=\"top\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8422\/7874220210_c267bff743_o.jpg\" title=\"1\" class=\"alignnone\" width=\"650\" height=\"975\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"ssb-share ssb-share-6605 defualt\" post_id=\"6605\">\n<div class=\"defualt-button-fb\"> <iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http:\/\/www.uberlin.co.uk\/uberstyle-graefestrasse\/&amp;width&amp;layout=button_count&amp;action=like&amp;show_faces=false&amp;share=false&amp;height=21&amp;appId=743541755673761\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; height:21px;\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"defualt-button-twitter\">        <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"\/uberstyle-graefestrasse\/\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"postMeta\">\n<div class=\"postMetaCategory\">Category: <a href=\"\/category\/people\/\" rel=\"category tag\">People<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"postMetaTag\">Tags: <a href=\"\/tag\/street-style\/\" rel=\"tag\">Streetstyle<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"comments\">                                 <a href=\"\/uberstyle-graefestrasse\/#comments\">1 comment<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post hentry\">\n<h5 class=\"postDate\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2012-08-27T11:10:24+0000\">August 27, 2012<\/abbr><\/h5>\n<div class=\"postContent\">\n<h3 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"\/music-montag-erkin-goren-kanal\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Music Montag: Erkin G\u00f6ren, \u201cKanal\u201d<\/a><\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"vcard author\">by <span class=\"fn\">James Glazebrook<\/span><\/h4>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p id=\"top\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Erkin G\u00f6ren\" src=\"http:\/\/25.media.tumblr.com\/tumblr_m7rnqcOZ4i1rym2w9o3_1280.jpg\" alt=\"Erkin G\u00f6ren\" width=\"650\" height=\"650\"><\/p>\n<p>A pretty little acoustic number recorded at, and inspired by, Berlin\u2019s Landwehrkanal.

The squeamish among you may want to look away now.]<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img title=\"Museum f\u00fcr Naturkunde A giant squid preserved in alcohol\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8440\/7799650054_f8fb4d899d_b.jpg\" alt=\"A giant squid preserved in alcohol\" width=\"650\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">A giant squid preserved in alcohol.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>My first day was spent with a taxidermist, part of a team who dedicate their time to skinning birds and mammals, cleaning their bones and mounting them ready for either exhibition or to be stored as part of the scientific collection. They have won many awards throughout Germany and Europe, and rightly so; I\u2019ve never seen taxidermy like it.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img title=\"Museum f\u00fcr Naturkunde I love red foxes.

After skinning, its bones would have been cleaned and dried and then mounted with the skin, or kept in the scientific collection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Some of the team were skinning a red fox as I arrived. It was a little bit startling to pop my head round a door to find one of my favourite animals having its skin removed; it was also fascinating. From there I was led through the purpose-built facilities for taxidermy, equipped for every stage of the process. As a result, the pieces they produce (usually from road kill or deceased animals regularly donated to the museum from one of Berlin\u2019s two zoos) are uncannily life-like. I was then shown the bird wet collection: pickled birds in jars.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img title=\"Museum f\u00fcr Naturkunde This piglet was freshly skinned and being prepared for use in a display.\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8423\/7799651464_82c636918e_b.jpg\" alt=\"This piglet was freshly skinned and being prepared for use in a display.\" width=\"650\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">This piglet was freshly skinned and being prepared for use in a display.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img title=\"Museum f\u00fcr Naturkunde A Sunbittern preserved in alcohol.\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8422\/7799650996_1b6f5d803e_b.jpg\" alt=\"A Sunbittern preserved in alcohol.\" width=\"650\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Sunbittern preserved in alcohol.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Next, the collections manager for ornithology showed me around the largest bird collection in Germany (around 200,000 specimens). He told me of a journal they had found with previously unknown information about some important specimens, filling in some missing geographical data, and adding even more scientific value to the birds.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img title=\"Museum f\u00fcr Naturkunde These are some of the scientifically important birds that had to be matched up to the citations in the journal that was found.\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7139\/7799650504_cb92faec2c_b.jpg\" alt=\"These are some of the scientifically important birds that had to be matched up to the citations in the journal that was found.\" width=\"650\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">These are some of the scientifically important birds that had to be matched up to the citations in the journal that was found.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Due to the number of objects, all museums have a large documentation backlog but Berlin\u2019s was particularly interesting. Because of the damage the museum sustained during the Second World War, many specimens are in a poor condition, often with information missing which has to be reconciled. Even missing specimens are input onto the database because they are a testament to what was destroyed during the war. I think it\u2019s a tragic echo; even something as simultaneously trivial and important as a stuffed bird was unable to escape.<\/p>\n<p>The museum had undergone a substantial rebuild in 2010 and most departments were still in the process of relocating the material. The East wing was completely razed during the war; it was finally rebuilt and now houses the very large spirit collections. Other specimens were removed and, ideally, cleaned\/conserved and packed in new storage boxes with new labels, ready for their new location.<\/p>\n<p>My time with the arachnid and myriapod collection team was brilliant. Arachnids tend to be fleshier than insects so lend themselves to being preserved in alcohol rather than pinned. There were still some beautiful examples of pinned spiders, as well as some centipedes and millipedes. In German, these are known as \u201cTausendf\u00fcsser\u201d (literally: \u201cthousand feet\u201d). The reptile skins are kept in the same area; it was like a crocodile\u2019s walk-in wardrobe.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img title=\"Museum f\u00fcr Naturkunde The strange crocodile wardrobe.\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7126\/7799649650_d9582db362_b.jpg\" alt=\"The strange crocodile wardrobe.\" width=\"650\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The strange crocodile wardrobe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>This was followed by a visit to the <a href=\"\/the-wet-collections-natural-history-museum\/\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', '\/the-wet-collections-natural-history-museum\/', 'fish collection');\" title=\"The Wet Collections, Natural History Museum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fish collection<\/a>, the only one of four floors of spirit collections, across the departments, that is among the public galleries. While manageable, this isn\u2019t practical; it forces the team to adopt unorthodox methods and to organise themselves in a slightly different way than if the collection was behind closed doors.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img title=\"Museum f\u00fcr Naturkunde The bright yellow web is like thread: it's soft, super-strong and vivid.

When a mammal comes into the museum it gets preserved as a combination of: a skull, a skeleton, a skin or a whole animal. They are usually all kept separate. Sometimes only the skin or skull are kept; sometimes all of it, in which case the individual parts are stored in the relevant areas.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img title=\"Museum f\u00fcr Naturkunde A drawer of fox skulls.

Loads of skins, and other specimens, are needed to make sure that the variation seen in nature is represented in the collection. For example, there are <em>a lot<\/em> of monkeys.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img title=\"Museum f\u00fcr Naturkunde The only way to really store skins from larger animals is to hang them up.
