Buchenwald

Buchenwald was a Nazi concentration camp in Germany during World War II, established in 1937. It was one of the largest and most notorious camps, where tens of thousands of prisoners—including Jews, political opponents, and others—suffered forced labor, inhumane conditions, and mass executions. The camp symbolized the atrocities of the Holocaust and Nazi brutality. Liberated in 1945 by Allied forces, Buchenwald now serves as a memorial to honor the victims and educate future generations about the importance of human rights and the dangers of hatred and intolerance.
