Summary
[edit]DescriptionMemorial concentration camp sachsenhausen (8072065131).jpg |
The Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp was built in the summer of 1936 by concentration camp prisoners from the Emsland camps. It was the first new camp to be established after Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler was appointed Chief of the German Police in 1936. The design of the grounds was conceived by the SS architects as the ideal concentration camp setting, giving architectural expression to the SS worldview, and symbolically subjugating the prisoners to the absolute power of the SS. As a model for other camps, and in view of its location just outside the Reich capital, Sachsenhausen acquired a special role in the National Socialist concentration camp system. This was reinforced in 1938 when the Concentration Camp Inspection Office, the administrative headquarters for all concentration camps within the German sphere of influence, was transferred from Berlin to Oranienburg. More than 200,000 people were imprisoned in the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp between 1936 and 1945. At first the prisoners were mostly political opponents of the Nazi regime. However, increasing numbers of members of groups defined by the National Socialists as racially or biologically inferior were later included. By 1939 large numbers of citizens from the occupied European states arrived. Tens of thousands of people died of starvation, disease, forced labor and mistreatment, or were victims of the systematic extermination operations of the SS. Thousands of other prisoners died during the death marches following the evacuation of the camp at the end of April 1945. Approximately 3,000 sick prisoners, along with the doctors and nurses who had stayed behind in the camp, were liberated by Soviet an Polish soldiers. Das KZ Sachsenhausen wurde im Sommer 1936 von Häftlingen aus den Emslandlagern errichtet. Es war die erste Neugründung eines Konzentrationslagers nach der Ernennung des Reichsführers SS Heinrich Himmler zum Chef der Deutschen Polizei im Juli 1936. Die von einem SS-Architekten am Reißbrett als idealtypisches Konzentrationslager konzipierte Anlage sollte dem Weltbild des Nationalsozialismus architektonischen Ausdruck geben und die Häftlinge auch symbolisch der absoluten Macht der SS unterwerfen. Als Modell- und Schulungslager in unmittelbarer Nähe der Reichshauptstadt nahm das KZ Sachsenhausen eine Sonderstellung im System der nationalsozialistischen Konzentrationslager ein. Diese wurde unterstrichen, als 1938 die Inspektion der Konzentrationslager, die Verwaltungszentrale für alle Konzentrationslager im deutschen Machtbereich, von Berlin nach Oranienburg verlegt wurde. Zwischen 1936 und 1945 waren im KZ Sachsenhausen mehr als 200.000 Menschen inhaftiert. Häftlinge waren zunächst politische Gegner des NS-Regimes, dann in immer größerer Zahl Angehörige der von den Nationalsozialisten als rassisch oder biologisch minderwertig erklärten Gruppen und ab 1939 zunehmend Bürger der besetzten Staaten Europas. Zehntausende kamen durch Hunger, Krankheiten, Zwangsarbeit und Misshandlungen um oder wurden Opfer von systematischen Vernichtungsaktionen der SS. Auf den Todesmärschen nach der Evakuierung des Lagers Ende April 1945 starben noch einmal Tausende von Häftlingen. Etwa 3.000 im Lager zurückgebliebene Kranke, ärzte und Pfleger wurden am 22.und 23.April 1945 von sowjetischen und polnischen Soldaten befreit. Arbeit macht frei |
