than half a century later, our grief and our outrage have not diminished.” The camps has left a deep impact on Obama. One of Obama’s uncles, Charlie, age 84, was one of the first troops to go to in Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps. A man named Wiesel, 80, told a amazing speech and Obama embraced him afterwards.
One of the unusual things that happened at this camp is that, German authorities sent Western Allied POWs to concentration camps. Buchenwald had a group that held 168 for two months. The people that were chosen were from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Jamaica. They all arrived at Buchenwald on August 20, 1944. Prisoners were not just Jewish, they were; Poles,Slavs, the mental Ill, the physically disabled, jehovah's witnesses, etc.
Being that most of these prisoners were political prisoners. Upon arrival 255 people died from mistreatment.
Then Beginning in 1941 services were available.
The service was medical experimental .
People were getting sicked in the camps, most of them died or were experimented on . in 1944 Dr.Carl, a physician, had something known as a “cure” for homosexuals inmates.
The sicknesses people were getting are the following typhus, typhoid, cholera, and also diphtheria. These illnesses thus caused many deaths.
The camp was located in a wooded area up North In Ettersburg (Weimar).

The Museum of Tolerance.
This museum tells about the depressing memories of the holocaust and its genocide. This museum in hopes of showing you these memories with real found items for instance; dolls, diaries, books, clothes, & etc. When seeing these items it is really freighting knowing that most of these items belonged to children especially the diary pages that were found. Speaking of Diaries of children, there was a Anne Frank Exhibit, showcasing everything about this young girl and her family. Everything told there is usually from her diary, because her diary had so much great detail about what was going on in her life. When she first started writing, she was only 13 years old, and thanks to the nazies, Anne and other children never got to experience growing up and have a good life. The holocaust exhibit was the last exhibit we saw in the museum. It showcases what victims went through while the holocaust was first taking place, such as propaganda against jews and offensive comics also to the …show more content…
jews.
It's not fair how one mad man can control the mind of others and because of this, some people made large groups of peoples' lives a living hell.
These victims never deserved such a genocide, and they will be all remembered throughout the exhibits, The Museum of Tolerance tells us, Never to forget. With its victims of over 56,000 people, 13,000 people were transferred to Auschwitz
Or other extermination camps. The population of Buchenwald actually rose up to 1,000 victims by of September of 1939. Then by December of 1943 reached over 60,000 victims! While the camp was under the construction, the prisoners were constructing it. For their "free" time, they had to carry large stones from the quarry to the camp. If the stone was too small, the victim was killed
immediately.
