Buchenwald concentration camp was a German Nazi concentration camp established on Ettersberg hill near Weimar, Germany, in July 1937, one of the first and the largest of the concentration camps on German soil, following Dachau's opening just over four years earlier.
Prisoners from all over Europe and the Soviet Union—Jews, Poles and other Slavs, the mentally ill and physically-disabled from birth defects, religious and political prisoners, Roma and Sinti, Freemasons, Jehovah's Witnesses (then called Bible Students), criminals, homosexuals, and prisoners of war—worked primarily as forced labor in local armaments factories. From 1945 to 1950, the camp was used by the Soviet occupation authorities as an internment camp, known as NKVD special camp number 2. Today the remains of Buchenwald serve as a memorial and permanent exhibition and museum.
The SS constructed Buchenwald concentration camp in 1937. The camp was liberated by the U.S. Army on 11 April 1945. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the supreme commander of the Allied Forces, later wrote, Nothing has ever shocked me as much as that sight. Between 1945 and 1950, it was used by the Soviet Union as an NKVD special camp for Nazi prisoners. On January 6, 1950, the Soviet authorities handed over the Buchenwald camp to the East German Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Between April 1938 and April 1945, some 238,380 people of various nationalities including 350 Western Allied prisoners of war (POW)s were incarcerated in Buchenwald. Wachsmann and the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Foundation place the number of deaths at 56,000, not including all those prisoners who died in another Camp after having overcome the death march from Buchenwald.
During an American bombing raid on August 24, 1944, that was directed at a nearby armaments factory, several bombs, including incendiaries, also fell on the camp, resulting in heavy casualties among prisoners (2,000 prisoners wounded and 388 killed by the raid). Today the remains of the camp serve as a memorial and permanent exhibition and museum administered by the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Foundation, which also oversees the camp's memorial at Mittelbau-Dora.

Germany: AfD's Hoecke banned from Holocaust memorial event at Buchenwald
Parliamentary Leader of the Thuringia branch of Alternative for Germany (AfD), Bjoern Hoecke, attempted to attend a commemoration event at the site of the former Buchenwald concentration camp on Holocaust Remembrance Day, Friday, despite a ban on his entry. The ban was issued due to a statement he made about the Holocaust memorial in Berlin. Hoecke was reported to have called Berlin's Holocaust memorial a monument of shame in a speech he gave last week.
Bjoern Hoecke, Parliamentary Party Leader for Alternative for Germany (AfD) Thuringia (German): I am shocked and I am appalled about how this day, which is dedicated to the commemoration of the darkest chapter of German history, is abused for a political controversy against me.
Rikola-Gunnar Luettgenau, Deputy Chairman for the Buchenwald Memorial (German): Mr Hoecke was not interested in what the survivors of the Buchenwald concentration camp had to say, how they wanted to commemorate their own deceased, how they wanted to celebrate their own deceased. That was of no interest to him. He came to the Ettersberg regardlessly, tried to access the memorial and then we issued a house ban [for the duration] of the commemoration ceremony.
Rikola-Gunnar Luettgenau, Deputy Chairman for the Buchenwald Memorial (German): Pausing for a moment is not enough any more. It is not enough, this pausing, when we don't take our view of the past into our daily lives, if we don't combine the questions and experiences that we make with our actions. This is true for a single person and especially for those who, voluntarily or professionally, take on the responsibility for a community, for a society, for a country.

BUCHENWALD & MITTELBAU DORA MEMORIAL (GERMANY)
BUCHENWALD & MITTELBAU DORA MEMORIAL
MAY 2012
Germany - Buchenwald Liberation Commemorated
T/I: 10:51:49
In a moving speech marking the 50th anniversary of the liberation
of the Nazi death camp at Buchenwald on Sunday (9/4), the head of
the State government of Thuringia said the city of Weimar would
forever be linked with the setting of such gross inhumanities.
Speaking to more than 1,000 former prisoners in the German
National Theatre of Weimar, Doctor Bernhard Vogel described the
city as having had a large tradition of humanity, but he said
this reputation had been tarnished by the terrible acts of 50
years ago. Jorge Semprun, a former prisoner of the camp and also the winner of the German Book Peace Prize, referred to his communist status and said the fact he had been invited was proof of the open democratic
spirit which pervaded the commemoration. Representing the Jewish
faction was Chief Rabbi of Israel, Meir Lau, who was
seven-years-old when the camp was liberated. He urged people never
to forget the terrible events of the Holocaust and warned that in
some other time, some other place, a Holocaust may happen.

number 4404 from Buchenwald is a further proof of the open
democratic spirit that penetrates this 50 year commemoration.
SOT (English with German translator) Chief Rabbi Meir Lau, Chief
Rabbi of Israel: My last will is not to forget. Please remember .
Some other time, some other place, a Holocaust may happen.

Vrijheid
Het thema van de opdracht was vrijheid. Tijdens een vakantie in Thüringen bezochten we ook Buchenwald. Indrukwekkend en reden om stil te staan bij vrijheid.

Historical Martin Luther’s House in Germany
The Lutherhaus in Eisenach is one of the oldest surviving half-timbered houses in Thuringia. Tradition holds that Martin Luther lived there with the Cotta family during his schooldays from 1498 to 1501. The Lutherhaus has been one of the most important historic Reformation sites since the 19th century and, as such, was designated a European cultural heritage site in 2011. The Lutherhaus has been run as a cultural history museum since 1956. - Wikipedia

Weimar was quite the intellectual hotspot back in the day, with Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, Bach, Liszt, Lucas Cranach and the Weimar School all spending time here. Goethe groupies will enjoy visiting his home, his tomb and the museum dedicated to him. If you’re in search of great food, visit during the Weimar Onion Market, held in October. (Just don’t forget your mints.)
Weimar is a city in the federal state of Thuringia, Germany. It is located between Erfurt in the west and Jena in the east, approximately 80 kilometres southwest of Leipzig, 170 kilometres north of Nuremberg and 170 kilometres west of Dresden.
Weimar is small and the best way is by foot or bike. Weimar has a public transport system but as a tourist you won't need it. Taxis are at night the best way when you feel lost and they are used to cater tourists.

Weimar is a city in central Germany. It's known as the birthplace of Weimar Classicism, a humanistic cultural movement. The Goethe & Schiller Monument in front of the German National Theater celebrates the 2 writers, who lived in the city. Goethe’s baroque residence is now the Goethe National Museum. The Schiller Museum is adjacent to the writer’s home. Bauhaus Museum Weimar has works by architect Walter Gropius.
The historical epicentre of Germany's 18th-century Enlightenment, Weimar is an essential stop for anyone with a passion for the country's history and culture. A pantheon of intellectual and creative giants lived and worked here: Goethe, Schiller, Bach, Cranach, Liszt, Nietzsche, Gropius, Herder, Feininger, Kandinsky – and the list goes on. You’ll see them memorialised on the streets, in museums and in reverently-preserved houses across town. In summer, Weimar’s many parks and gardens lend themselves to quiet contemplation of all this intellectual and cultural gravity (or allow you to take a break from it).
Weimar is also the place where, post WWI, the constitution of the German Reich, known by historians as the Weimar Republic (1919–33), was drafted, though there are strangely few reminders of this historical moment. Nearby, the unadorned, unaltered remains of the Buchenwald concentration camp provide sobering testament to the crimes of the subsequent Nazi regime.
Weimar is the town of Goethe and Schiller and is found in Thuringia (Thüringen) state, Germany. Weimar is a small town with lots of tourists, most of whom come in on coaches for day-visits. Roads can be congested in the mornings and evenings. The best and most convenient way is by train. Deutsche Bahn offers direct connections from Berlin, Leipzig and Erfurt. Weimar Hauptbahnhof is about a kilometre from Goetheplatz. Weimar is small and the best way is by foot or bike. Weimar has a public transport system but as a tourist you won't need it. Taxis are at night the best way when you feel lost and they are used to cater tourists.
