At a fountain in Munich. The main square of the camp where roll call was taken every day. The camp was originally built for 4-5,000 prisoners, by the time of it's liberation it held nearly 40,000 men. At the beginning the barrack rooms actually provided a lot of space for the prisoners with about fifty men in each room... by the end 500 were crammed into this same sized room. Men in the barracks at the time of their liberation by U.S. forces. By the end the barrack rooms that were supposed to house 50 men now held over 500. The courtyard between the main building and the prisons... the place where punishments and executions were carried out. Looking at the inside of a cell from outside the closed door. The prison cells. The prison cells at the camp. Used mainly for punishment and then to house Illuminations they put on walls of certain prison cells with quotes from survivors.
