View of Sachsenhausen concentration camp area with perimeter wall

An evocative view of the Sachsenhausen camp area at sunset, with large bare trees silhouetted against the sky and the perimeter wall in the background. Some visitors walk along the avenue that crosses what was once the heart of the camp. The melancholic atmosphere of this image contrasts with the horrors that occurred in this place between 1936 and 1945. Today the site is a memorial that welcomes thousands of visitors each year, inviting reflection on history and memory.
