Crematorium (Флоссенбюрг)

Germany / Bayern / Flossenburg / Флоссенбюрг
 crematorium  Add category
The building, constructed in 1940, included a room for dissection and an incinerator for burning the bodies of the steadily increasing number of victims. From the autumn of 1944 the number of people killed increased enormously. Therefore a tunnel with a ramp was constructed in order to transport the bodies to the crematorium below the camp. The entrance, secured with an iron grating, was located near the quarantine and death blocks that housed the seriously ill and dying prisoners.
After 1945, tunnel, ramp and C became important reminders of Flossenbirg Concentration Camp and a symbol of death on a massive scale.
