I resti della linea ferroviaria per Buchenwald . La piattaforma (qui vista) è l'inizio della famigerata via Caracho (Carachoweg) che tutti i prigionieri dovevano usare per raggiungere a piedi il campo. Caracho è una parola di lingua spagnola per 'tempo doppio' ed è stato così chiamato dai prigionieri comunisti spagnoli che hanno contribuito a costruire la ferrovia e che sono stati catturati combattendo contro Franco nella guerra civile spagnola. Buchenwald (letteralmente faggeta) è stato un campo di concentramento nazista fondato sulla collina di Ettersberg vicino a Weimar, in Germania, nel luglio 1937. Sul cancello principale, il motto jedem das Seine (inglese: 'Ad ogni suo')

The remains of the Railway Line into Buchenwald . The Platform (seen here) is the beginning of the infamous Caracho Way (Carachoweg) which all prisoners had to use to walk to the camp. Caracho is a Spanish prison slang word for 'Double Time' and was so named by Spanish Communist prisoners who helped to build the railway and who were captured fighting against Franco in the Spanish Civil War. Buchenwald; literally beech forest) was a Nazi concentration camp established on Ettersberg hill near Weimar,  Germany, in July 1937. On the main gate, the motto Jedem das Seine (English: "To each his own"), was inscribed. The SS interpreted this to mean the "master race" had a right to humiliate and destroy others It was one of the first and the largest of the concentration camps within Germany's 1937 borders. Many actual or suspected communists were among the first internees. Prisoners came from all over Europe and the Soviet Union—Jews,  Poles and other Slavs, the mentally ill and physically disabled, political prisoners,  Romani people,  Freemasons, and prisoners of war. There were also ordinary criminals and sexual "deviants". All prisoners worked primarily as forced labour in local armaments factories. The insufficient food and poor conditions, as well as deliberate executions, led to 56, 545 deaths at Buchenwald of the 280, 000 prisoners who passed through the camp and its 139 subcamps. The camp gained notoriety when it was liberated by the United States Army in April 1945; Allied commander Dwight D. Eisenhower visited one of its subcamps. From August 1945 to March 1950, the camp was used by the Soviet occupation authorities as an internment camp,  NKVD special camp Nr. 2, where 28, 455 prisoners were held and 7, 113 of whom died. Today the remains of Buchenwald serve as a memorial and permanent exhibition and museum.
