Buchenwald was a Nazi concentration camp established near Weimar, Germany, along with many satellite camps. Those held there worked primarily as forced labor in horrible conditions that led many to perish. Visit the sub-camps of Ohrdruf and Mittel-Bau-Dora (a system of tunnels for manufacturing the V-2 rocket and the V-1 flying bomb). Buchenwald and the surrounding camps were liberated by the U.S. Army on 11 April 1945. Take part in the commemoration of this event. Visit the beautiful university town of Weimar, a major focal point of the German Enlightenment. It is also where the constitution of the Weimar Republic was written in 1919.
