Concentration camps

The concentration camps are closely intertwined in the history of the Third Reich. Various political, ideological and racial opponents of the Nazis were locked up in there in order to prevent them from thwarting Hitlers dream: a Reich that would last a thousand years. It is generally known that many people perished in the concentration camps and the numerous eyewitness accounts have made clear how inhuman the conditions were in those camps. Suppression, maltreatment and murder are frequently recurring elements in each account and for us, the concentration camp is synonymous to the regime of terror in the Third Reich.
