Very informative and educational. Only the outer layer is currently open. Everything can be reconstructed very well on information boards. The facts: At the end of 1938 the SS set up a satellite camp of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in a disused brick factory in Hamburg-Neuengamme. In the early summer of 1940 the Neuengamme concentration camp became an independent concentration camp. Until 1945 it was the central concentration camp in northwest Germany. In the course of the war, the Gestapo and the SS security service deported tens of thousands of people from all occupied European countries as concentration camp prisoners to Neuengamme. The reasons for the briefing were mostly her resistance to the German occupation regime, rebellion against forced labor or racially motivated persecution. In the Neuengamme concentration camp and in its more than 85 satellite camps, which were set up for construction projects and for armaments companies throughout northern Germany, the prisoners had to do heavy labor for the war economy. The living and working conditions were grueling. A total of at least 42,900 people were killed in the Neuengamme main camp, in the subcamps or in the course of the camp evictions during death marches and in the bombing of concentration camp ships. In addition, several thousand prisoners died in other concentration camps after their removal from Neuengamme concentration camp or after the end of the war as a result of their imprisonment.
