      This plate is on the floor and the inside with the inscription of all nations is exactly 37 degrees warm. Anyone who wants to touch this record has to get down on their knees in awe

              The “Monument of a Monument” for all prisoners of the Buchenwald concentration camp is located on the upper part of the former roll call area, a few meters from the camp gate building with the holding cells. It commemorates the first temporary memorial sign for the victims of the concentration camp, which was erected at this location by former prisoners after its liberation.
              The monument consists of a square metal plate that was embedded in the ground of the roll call area. Your midsection is permanently heated to a temperature of 37 degrees, the human body temperature. In addition to the abbreviation “K.L.B.” (for Buchenwald concentration camp), the names of 57 nations and victim groups were engraved in alphabetical order on the metal plate.
