Buchenwald (English spelling)

Japanese: ブーヘンワルト（英語表記）Buchenwald

One of the concentration camps established by the Nazis. It opened in March 1937 near the city of Weimar in central Germany. Initially, it was a facility for detaining and taking in Germans who opposed fascism, but during World War II, many foreigners, including prisoners of war from the Soviet army, were also detained there. Over the eight years until it was liberated, it held approximately 240,000 detainees representing 32 different nationalities, and approximately 56,000 people lost their lives due to inhuman treatment, starvation, and unbearable labor. E. Thälmann was one of them. [Kitsuka Hideto]

ナチスが設けた強制収容所の一つ。ドイツ中部の都市ワイマール近郊に1937年3月に開設。初めはファシズムに反対するドイツ人を連行，収容する施設であったが，第2次大戦期に入ると，ソ連軍の捕虜を含む多数の外国人も収容された。解放されるまでの8年間の収容者数は約24万，国籍数は32に上り，非人間的待遇，飢餓，耐えがたい労働のため，約5万6000人が命を奪われた。E.テールマンもその一人である。【木塚英人】
