Germany Buchenwald Memorial
The infamous Nazi concentration camp known as Buchenwald existed between 1937 and 1945 in Ettersberg. More than 250,000 people from almost 50 nations were imprisoned there - and over 50,000 of them did not survive. In August 1945, the site was converted by the Soviet occupying forces into an internment camp. Known as Special Camp No. 2, over 28,000 people were held here by the Soviets between 1945 and 1950, including 7,000 who died.
