Ashpit Concentration Camp Natzwiller-Struthof

To the left of the crematorium is the so-called ash pit, where the remains of cremated prisoners are dug.
The pit is covered with earth on which a lying Christian cross is placed in a lawn and filled with flowers.

In stone letters at the top:
HONNEUR ET PATRIE
at the bottom:
OSSA HUMILIATA
(ie humiliated bones)
