	Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp http://www.HolocaustResearchProject.org
		The Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp was built in the summer of 1936 by concentration camp prisoners from the Emsland camps.
		The camp was located at the edge of Berlin, which gave it a position among the German concentration camps: the administrative centre of all concentration camps was located in Oranienburg, and Sachsenhausen became a training centre for SS officers (who would often be sent to oversee other camps afterwards).
		Himmler in 1937, said of the camp, that it was to be the prototype of a "modern, up-to-date, ideal and easily expandable concentration camp".

		This map of the camp, by an unknown prisoner, illustrates well the lack of freedom of movement granted to prisoners and their limited knowledge of the borders and layout of the camp - the drawing differs greatly from the actual camp layout.

	Sachsenhausen travel guide - Wikitravel
		Sachsenhausen ("Houses of the Saxons") is a sleepy suburb of Oranienburg, about one hour north of Berlin, Germany.
		After the camp's capture (and inclusion in the DDR), the Soviets immediately turned the tables (albeit not on innocent citizens) and interned suspected Nazi functionaries in what now became Special Camp No. 7, killing (another) 12000 war criminals and perpetrators of Nazi terror before the camp was closed in 1950.
		Regulations for camp life were detailed and the tiniest violations brutally punished: SS guards were known to suffocate prisoners to death by inserting their heads into the foot washbasins or toilets.
