ngg_shortcode_0_placeholderDuring my trip in the former DDR (GDR) I’ve also visited some memorials to an even earlier period: the camps of Buchenwald and the lesser known Dora-Mittelbau. There is little left of both camps, but the extensive information that is provided gives a good view on how life \u2013 and death \u2013 in these camps must have been. E.g. the disinfection of prisoners: after being submerged in a bath, they had to wait outside, in the cold, for their cloths, which were washed at the same time. Enough to get a fatal pneumonia.<\/p>\n

The number of forced labour camps was massive. We only remember the ‘big names’, but Buchenwald e.g. had no less than 136 ‘satellite camps’…<\/p>\n

Close to Buchenwald is an very big memorial, build between 1954 and 1958, a nice piece of DDR architecture. Alongside three circular graves where in March\/April 1945 thousands of people were burried, is the ‘Street of Nations’, as a memorial to the 18 different nationalities of the prisoners in Buchenwald. A Russian group had just paid tribute, by leaving a crown and some flowers.<\/p>\n

The first five pictures are from Dora-Mittelbau. Picture two is an improbable coincidence: twisted iron seeming to form, when viewed in the right angle, the word ‘live’… Only the last letter is missing, as if live here terminated prematurely.<\/p>\n
