One of the statues in the Museum that is at the site. Part of the memorial- a representation of the twisted bodies of the dead. The memorial: the statue in the middle is to represent the twisted bodies of the dead, the pillars represent the fence that kept them imprisoned in the camp, the gravel in front represents where the prisoners had to go each day for roll call. Part of the memorial- the sign reads The colors of all the different triangles represent the different countries present in the camp, they're connected to represent the solidarity between the prisoners, the chain that links the three circles together represents their imprisonment in the camp The walk from the last barracks to the front where roll call took place each day.  For us it was a simple three minute walk- now imagine being starved and sick and having to complete this walk...
