Featuring a series of post war images issued by KZ-Gedenkstätte Buchenwald, below are comparison views of several sites at the concentration camp.
Firstly, the Haupteingang / Torgebäude (Main Entrance / Gate Building).
Next are the detention cells, which form the righthand section of the main entrance building when viewed from inside the camp.
Below, views of fencing and a Wachturm (watchtower) - note, this modern day representation is not the one shown in the earlier photograph.
Krematorium - two contrasting views taken from different vantage points.
Another pair of images showing the Krematorium facility, this time showing part of the yard area to the side of the building. At this spot, on 11th April 1945, a large pile of corpses was found by liberating US forces. Note, the modern image was taken further along the side of the structure.
Finally, the ovens inside the Krematorium.
The camp is addressed in this thread below:

What is the bust in the old krematoria photo?
Ernst Thälmann, KPD (Communist Party) leader during the Weimar Republic. He was shot at Buchenwald in the summer of 1944 shortly after his arrival from prison.
Thanks Carl, is that memorial still there?
