Let me tell you that it was such an experience for me. It's hard to put into words what it was like. I could have spent hours in each building just imagining what it was like when the camp was in use. Here are some pictures from Buchenwald that maybe can impart a bit of what it is to visit this place.
This is what the barracks area looks like now. Almost none of the barracks remain. Where the rocks are black is where the barracks used to be.
Here is a look into one of six cremation ovens in the camp.
This is the smoke stack of the crematorium.
This building was used to store all the belongings the prisoners came with.
This is the gate to the prisoners' area. The words have two translations: the more literal "to each his own"; and the less literal "you get what you deserve".
It seems I can't add more pictures. So, the ones from Weimar itself will be in the next post (even though that post will show before this one on the blog page... silly blogger).
