Where it Happened
The Buchenwald Concentration Camp was located just out of the city of Weimar, Germany. This concentation camp was located in Germany, the country that The Holocaust originally started. Buchenwald Concentration Camp was located in Central Germany(as seen on the maps below) and surrounded by a wooded area. In 1958 the Buchenwald Memorial opened. Today, the only buildings left from The Holocaust are the lighthouse and the entrance gate which were both built by the prisoners of Buchenwald.
