Warning: I took a lot of #%!@ing pictures. If you don’t want to look at all of them, don’t. Just dont be a prick and complain about it.
Buchenwald, established in July of 1937 and ended in 1945, was one of the largest concentration camps in Germany. It’s located a few miles out of the town of Weimer.
My uncle got a first hand view of the camp. No, he was not a prisoner...he was a guard. Yes, that’s right. My great uncle was SS. Ironic because my grandfather was a Lieutenant in the Polish army.
Enough rambling, here are the pictures I took while at the camp (there’s a lot).

Used as punishment. Manual labor wheee!
The Russians destroyed almost the entire camp after they used it for themselves for 10 years.
These are pictures from the Sterilization Building. They showed nothing of its actual past, but it contained a lot of art from the prisoners.
Entrance
Collection of shoes taken from new prisoners
Shirts

Honestly, the inside was pretty boring, but there were a couple things which for photo-worthy
I don’t know why there was a syringe there because Buchenwald was a labor camp, not a death camp. Still interesting though
A shrunken head. They really did this. Shrunken heads were given to SS officers as gifts.
And finally a view from the 2nd floor. This only makes up for about 1/4 of this sections actual size.
I’ll try to answer any questions...unless you’re a cunt and I hate you =). Other than that, rate fair.
