Hiking

The scale of it is deeply distressing. The memorial is important to document this unimaginable event.

Hiking

The Mittelbau-Dora Concentration Camp Memorial is a European place of learning and remembrance. It is an example of the history of forced labor and the underground relocation of armaments production during World War II. More than 60,000 people from almost every country in Europe had to do forced labor for the German armaments industry in the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp between 1943 and 1945. One in three of them died.

It's very depressing if you happen to come across this place on a hike in the area. There is a strong reminder of the suffering that was inflicted on so many people.
