"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.

5/5 Excellent

"Staff all very accomadating and helpful. Found the room to be quiet and paid upfront for breakfast which had plenty of different choices available. Lots of restaurants within easy walking distance of the hotel and taxis and buses directly outside if required and train station close by too. Would certainly stay again. "

Nice room, great location

"Good stay at Lux 11. Great location, close to transport links and some really nice shops, bars and restaurants on the same street and those behind the hotel. Room was comfortable and really appreciated that the hotel kindly gave my disabled son a quiet room with a slightly larger bed. Staff in bar and restaurant very friendly. Would book again if I returned to Berlin."
