The first Nazi concentration camp, opened in 1933 and the model for those that followed. More than 200,000 people from across Europe were imprisoned here, and over 41,000 died. The memorial includes the roll-call square, reconstructed barracks, the crematorium and an excellent exhibition in the former maintenance building.
