    In the middle of downtown Oranienburg, on March 21, 1933, the "Day of Potsdam", on which the conservative elites of Germany paid homage to Hitler, the first state concentration camp in Prussia was set up on the site of a former brewery by the local SA Standard 208. The early concentration camps in Germany were primarily local "Vengeance Camps", in which the National Socialists imprisoned their political and intellectual opponents from the street fights and speech battles of the Weimar Republic as a deterrent. It was not uncommon for the perpetrators and victims to come from the same milieu or were neighbors or family members as in the Oranienburg concentration camp, where the communist Willi Ruf faced his father as an SA overseer.
