    The pine tree died in the 1960s and is preserved as a symbol of resistance in the Langenstein-Zwieberge concentration camp.

    ... steeped in history and interesting to read on along the way ...

    The "jaw of death" outside the camp but close behind the camp fence was used to hang escapees who were caught.
    The torture and executions took place in front of the eyes of prisoners who were not currently working.
    Sometimes the camp inmates even had to hang their comrades themselves.
    The other prisoners were forced to watch the killing ritual from the inside of the camp fence.
