Buchenwald Concentration Camp, officially KL Buchenwald, was one of the largest concentration camps on German soil. It operated as a forced labor camp on the Ettersberg hill near Weimar between July 1937 and April 1945. A total of approximately 277,800 people from 50 countries were imprisoned in Buchenwald during this period.[1] The death toll is estimated at around 56,000, including 15,000 Soviet citizens, 7,000 Poles, 6,000 Hungarians, and 3,000 French citizens.[2] As the 3rd US Army approached on April 11, 1945, the prisoners took control of the camp from the retreating SS, arrested 125 of the guards, opened the gates, and raised a white flag.

If you are here, you should also stop at the memorial.

This memorial, which commemorates the 55,000 dead in Buchenwald, stands at the beginning of the Blood Road leading to the camp

A place to pause and remember. I felt a very oppressive feeling during my visit, especially given the sheer size of the camp. This becomes more than clear when driving past the guard posts. Please never again 🙏

Please never again 🙏 I was pleased to see that many young people and students had also found their way to the camp during my visit. However, it should be noted that cycling is not permitted in the camp area.
