The memorial was officially opened in 2011. It is reminiscent of the former satellite camp Groß Rosen in Kamenz. On boards are the names of the victims who died here.

Another commemoration with a candle on the concrete slabs above the ash pit. Bodies were cremated in the cloth factory's furnace. Forced laborers for "Elster GmbH", a branch of Daimler-Benz. Speechlessness in the face of systematic cruelty.

"By Resolution 60/7, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on November 1, 2005, January 27 was declared the International Day of Remembrance in Rememberance of the Victims of the Holocaust. This date was chosen to commemorate the liberation of Auschwitz in 1945 and to call humanity to reflect on the atrocities of the past. Auschwitz was chosen because it was the largest of the concentration and extermination camps established by the Nazis. More than 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, were murdered there and their bodies cremated. Reflecting on these horrific events should keep the memory of the past alive and serve as a warning for the future."
(Rabbi Abraham Skorka)
