Buchenwald is a necessary detour to gauge the scale of Hitler's regression.
Buchenwald is a necessary detour to measure the extent of the regression of Hitler's Germany versus the weimarienne humanist tradition. It was in July 1937 that the Nazis began the construction of this immense concentration camp, where more than 250 000 people were deported, 65 000 died. A resistance cell inside the camp organized an uprising that led to his release on 11 April 1945. In the camp, one cannot detach the gaze of the mounds of black stone, the remnants of the burnt barracks at the end of the war. It is a vision that will accompany you long. The violent wind sweeping this huge plateau will not succeed in making your mind lighter.
In addition to the various sites and buildings inside the camp, a memorial built by the GDR, a huge sculpture with a 50 m high bell, dominates the entire valley.

Sehr guten Guide gehabt und zum Glück gutes Wetter.
Te has de bajar el audio guía mediante la aplicación App Store.
La visita dura un promedio de 2 horas, aunque yo eso lo pongo en duda porque si quieres visitar todo lo que está indicado en el mapa que te dan, te puede llevar horas pues hay distancias de kms.
Después de la visita puedes reponer fuerzas en la cafetería del Campo de Concentración con un Café y un Pastel.
Todo está bastante bien coordinado.
Según el mapa original llegué a contabilizar hasta 10 Crematorios....pero en realidad sólo han dejado uno, supongo será para no sacudir conciencias. No es lo mismo ver 10 Crematorios que ver sólo uno.
Per Audio erfährt man sehr viel über Schiller und sein Leben.
Das Wohnhaus ist gut Erhalten, auch wenn nicht alle Original Einrichtungen des Hauses noch vorhanden sind.
