Experts of the State Office of Conservation and Archaeology Thuringia, and the Foundation of Memorials of Buchenwald and Mettelbau-Dora began this Tuesday to dig into the nazi death camp of Buchenwald , on the outskirts of Weimar, in search of new underground galleries after the research of a journalist for the television station MDR revealed that there could be more secret tunnels on the grounds of the field, where we already know of two.
for years speculated with the possibility that in Buchenwald have hidden works of art that were facts by the nazi regime.
In the extermination camp, one of the largest built by the nazis, were held for more than 250,000 people during the eight years in which it was in operation, from 1937 to 1945. Of them, it is estimated that 56.000 died there, killed, or because of disease and hunger.
Buchenwald administered at least 87 subcamps located across Germany, from Duesseldorf on the Rhine to the border of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in the east, as indicated in the encyclopedia of the Holocaust from the Holocaust Memorial Museum U.S. prisoners were forced to work in armaments factories, quarries, and construction projects in the most severe conditions.
After the liberation of the concentration camp in April 1945, american troops discovered two bunkers secrets of the SS closed at the quarry at Buchenwald, filled with personal belongings of deportees and victims of the Holocaust.
Although in the decade of the 90 were made explorations by the geological in the surroundings, if it is suspected that there may be other galleries, the work was stopped. The topic was forgotten until the journalist Peter-Hugo Scholz returned to the research along with geoscientists, historians, and fans and found new documents and photos up to then unknown. The documentary series in seven episodes of Scholz, now deceased, titled “deposits secrets of Buchenwald”, was the trigger of the new excavations in the quarry of the concentration camp.
