Axel Drecoll, director of the Brandenburg Memorials Foundation, sits on the left. The Soviet occupation forces had established ten special camps in their zone. Around 60000 people were imprisoned in the Weesow and Sachsenhausen camps until their dissolution in the spring of 1950, 12000 of whom died of hunger and disease. The anniversary of the arrival of the first prisoners in Sachsenhausen has been commemorated by the former prisoners and their relatives since the early 1990s.
