Various images of watchtowers from some of the KLs I have visited over the years.
Firstly, Auschwitz-I, Stammlager (the main camp).

Re: KL Guard towers
Next are several guard towers at Auschwitz-II, Birkenau.
The first visit was in the middle of winter, with temperatures down to -25c.
The final image shows the harshness of the conditions that were present. Winters throughout the period when the KL was active, were generally worse.

Next, KL-Breendonk in Belgium.

All hauntingly imposing structures. They make your skin crawl.

Indeed. Somehow, I have always found the sight of the watchtowers to be be more powerful and symbolic imagery than views of any other aspect of the camps.by sandgroper
Re: KL Guard towers
Similar guard towers can be found in NKVD gulag camps across former USSR although they are less well known.

Is KL Buchenwald still open to the public/available?
I have read several books about the camp and would like to go and see it. But don´t know if I can - the photos in this thread are haunting.
