Memorial Square Crematorium Mittelbau-Dora

A memorial square was built in front of the crematorium in the early 1950s. A group of figures by sculptor Jürgen von Woyski has occupied the center of this space since 1964. It shows five prisoners with tied hands.
After 1990, three memorial signs were added to the square. Two stone slabs are respectively dedicated to Jewish and Sinti and Roma victims of the concentration camp. Another stone slab lists all the countries of origin of the prisoners of the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp and is dedicated to all the victims.
