Image
Shalom! World. Never forget! Konzentrationslager Buchenwald was built in 1937 in the direct victinity of Weimar, the city of German Classicism. It was to this concentration camp on Ettersberg Mountain that the SS deported men, teenagers and children - political opponents to the Nazi regime, so-called associals and criminals, homosexuals, Jews - who had no place in the National Socialist "people's community". Following the outbreak of World War II, the National Socialist sent people from nearly every country in Europe to Buchenwald.

The commission was awarded to Forster, who had envisioned the synagogue with wrought iron structural supports, a novelty at the time.

The high, arched row of arc...
