Description

From 9 to 14 April 2008, a remembrance ceremony in honor and remembrance of the dead comrades took place in the memorial at the former Buchenwald concentration camp. This year, the International Buchenwald-Dora Committee particularly paid homage to the first Austrian inmates who were delivered to the Buchenwald concentration camp as a result of the “Anschluss” of Austria to the German Reich in March 1938. As every year, the Concentration Camp Association Buchenwald participated in the remembrance ceremony. The participants were former political prisoners at the Buchwald concentration camp who had fought against the National Socialist regime and the daughters of a former Buchenwald inmate.

Die Teilnehmer waren ehemalige politische Häftlinge des KZ-Buchenwald, die gegen das nationalsozialistische Regime gekämpft haben sowie die Tochter eines ehemaligen Buchenwaldhäftlings.
