SS Guard Path Around Buchenwald Concentration Camp

Highlight • Historical Site

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 🙏

The journey to the memorial was a bit difficult for me. But it was really worth it for the return trip and was really fun
