In natural earth wells, the SS had in March / April 1945 bury about 3000 dead. Three of the funeral funers were designed as ring graves.

Hiking

Shortly before the concentration camp was liberated in 1945, the SS had about 3,000 dead buried in these depressions. Three of the funeral funnels in the form of ring graves became part of the memorial. The ring tombs are connected by The Road of Nations.
