Location of the reconstructed Jewish barracks numbers 38 and 39 in the "Small Camp." Barrack 38 houses a Jewish Museum. This was the location of an arson attack by neo-Nazis in September 1992.
The museum was to have 19 sections arranged by country with the Soviet Union and Germany each receiving twice as much exhibition space, according to a pamphlet entitled "From the Memory to the Monument," available at the camp bookstore. The museum was primarily focused on World War II and the resistance against Nazi Germany and represented "the ideology of the German Socialist Unity Party (SED)." There was no place in the Sachsenhausen museum for the genocide of the Jews, nor for the genocide of the Sinti and Roma.
