This forest is no ordinary place. A "quiet" forest, where voices lost in the mist cry out for salvation and mercy. It was hell hidden in a forest. And as William Shakespeare said: "Hell is empty, the devils are right here."
In the 20th century, one of the most terrifying
and sober places in Germany was built. Founded in 1937 by the Nazi regime, this
place became a symbol of horror disguised as order.
Thousands of people were imprisoned there for
thinking differently, having a different religion, or belonging to a different
group or collective. The pain came not only from the confinement, but also from
the daily routine marked by fear, humiliation, abuse, and neglect.
As the war progressed, this place expanded,
becoming an underground network of more than 100 subcamps. The treatment of
prisoners here became a true hell on earth.
When Allied troops arrived in April 1945, what
they found there left them speechless. Today, Buchenwald still stands as a
painful reminder of what happens when the devil takes control.
Conclusion:
The Buchenwald Forest not only witnessed
horror, but also became a symbol of human suffering caused by intolerance and
hatred. Today, it remains a warning about the dangers of dehumanization and
forgetting.
Those people were monsters
