SS administration buildings and Karacho-weg

Germany / Thuringen / Hottelstedt /
 Second World War 1939-1945, place with historical importance, concentration camp
The road to the left of the railroad station takes you into the camp the same way the prisoners entered more than 50 years ago on a road called Carachoweg (Caracho Way). The Spanish word caracho was prison slang for double time. There were a few "Red Spaniards," or Communists that had fought the Fascists in the Spanish Civil War, who were imprisoned at Buchenwald.
