The Buchenwald concentration camp was operated as a men's concentration camp. It was one of the largest concentration camps in Germany. The inmates had to perform forced labor under inhumane conditions, sometimes until they died. After the end of the Second World War, the concentration camp was continued to be operated by the Russian army as an internment camp for Nazi leaders, some of whom suffered under the same prison conditions as the prisoners during the Third Reich.
