The Nazis used Buchenwald until the camp’s liberation in 1945. From 1945 to 1950, the Soviet Union used the occupied camp as an NKVD special camp for Nazis and other Germans.

These accounts are one of the sources of estimates for the number of deaths in Buchenwald. According to SS documents, 33,462 died in Buchenwald. These documents were not, however, necessarily accurate: Among those executed before 1944 many were listed as “transferred to the Gestapo”. Furthermore, from 1941 forward Soviet POWs were executed in mass killings. Arriving prisoners selected for execution were not entered into the camp register and therefore were not among the 33,462 dead listed in SS documents.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><strong></strong></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><strong>Burial Of an Unknown Child:</strong></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><strong></strong></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_MsZb8mYFoCs/Sl9SOJl9KrI/AAAAAAAAIIw/NjJd90l2k3w/s800/burial_of_an_unknown_child.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Burial of an unknown child.

Placed over the camp’s main entrance gate, was the slogan Jedem das Seine (literally “to each his own”, but figuratively “everyone gets what he deserves”). The Nazis used Buchenwald until the camp’s liberation in 1945. From 1945 to 1950, the Soviet Union used the occupied camp as an NKVD special camp for Nazis and other Germans. On 6 January 1950, the Soviets handed over Buchenwald to the East German Ministry of Internal Affairs.[/SIZE][/FONT][/LEFT] [LEFT][FONT=Arial Narrow][SIZE=3]The SS left behind accounts of the number of prisoners and people coming to and leaving the camp, categorizing those leaving them by release, transfer, or death. These accounts are one of the sources of estimates for the number of deaths in Buchenwald. According to SS documents, 33,462 died in Buchenwald. These documents were not, however, necessarily accurate: Among those executed before 1944 many were listed as “transferred to the Gestapo”. Furthermore, from 1941 forward Soviet POWs were executed in mass killings. Arriving prisoners selected for execution were not entered into the camp register and therefore were not among the 33,462 dead listed in SS documents.[/SIZE][/FONT][/LEFT] [LEFT][FONT=Arial Narrow][SIZE=3][B] Burial Of an Unknown Child: [/B][/SIZE][/FONT][/LEFT] [LEFT][FONT=Arial Narrow][SIZE=3][IMG]http://lh5.ggpht.com/_MsZb8mYFoCs/Sl9SOJl9KrI/AAAAAAAAIIw/NjJd90l2k3w/s800/burial_of_an_unknown_child.jpg[/IMG][/SIZE][/FONT][/LEFT] [LEFT][FONT=Arial Narrow][SIZE=3]Burial of an unknown child.
