Great photos and thanks for sharing, i thought the sign asking for silence and respect was a nice touch, something that was sadly lacking when i visited Sachsenhausen.

Here some photo's off my visiting in 2011 to the only concentrationcamp in France. It's situated in Natzweiler and it's called " Struthof ".........


Attachment 394938

Silence should be the minimum for any site such as this. People died in truly abhorrent and utterly criminal ways here.

The minimum a visitor can do is to to surrender their mobile phones for a few hours etc.

It will help to ensure it never happens again.

Yeah mate very true, It was teenagers on a school trip causing all the noise at Sachsenhausen, i overheard an old German guy having a rant at their teachers, along the lines of "Keep your kids quiet this isn't a damned theme park".

Link to a recent thread addressing one of the more unusual structures present at KL-Natzweiler-Struthof, the "Kartoffelkeller" ("potato cellar").
