- Sachsenhausen- they are walking skeletons.
Ive read the stories, heard of the gruelsome details, and now ive seen where the prisoners of the halucost were held. Not too far away was a camp named sachsenhausen. It first held prisoners in 1933, and it enlarged in 36 for the larger number of prisoners. The progom of november 1938 was when many of the jews were gathered and brought to the camps. So many have died through exhaustion, starvation and physical violence. sachenhausen was considered an ideal camp in design. its figure is a traingle in plan and the bararcks are radially set out. It was to be a guide for the other camps to follow. 60 years ago was the releasal of the prisoners at sachsenhausen. I was fortunate eneugh to randomly be there on a day that family members and survivors all gathered at the camp in memmorial of the releasal, april 23 1945. I also tracked down parts of the wall today...interesting but i have mixed feelings on it. tomarrow is Prague...
