    Along a wide road that connects the ring graves are brick pylons bearing the names of 18 nations.

      The Road of Nations is flanked by brick pylons with the names of 18 nations whose relatives were imprisoned in the Buchenwald concentration camp. Forged fire bowls form the top of the pylons. The symbolism takes up the obelisk erected on April 19, 1945 by survivors on the former roll call square with a wooden fire bowl and a scratched, warning engraving.

        The three ring graves are connected by the monumental “Road of Nations”. The builders saw it as “a path for reflection and gathering strength”.
        The street is accompanied by 18 pylons with fire bowls, the design of which is based on Egyptian models. They bear the names of 18 selected nations from which people were deported to Buchenwald.
