Breitenau concentration camp

Breitenau concentration camp was one of the first concentration camps established by the Nazis. It was founded in June 1933 as an addition to the Breitenau Labor and Welfare House, less than six months after the Nazis by a democratic election in Germany became the majority party in the German parliament.[1][2] It closed in March 1934 and reopened in 1940 where it remained in operation until the end of World War II.[3] In 1984, a memorial was constructed on the site of the former camp.[1][3]
