Stock Photo - 27 April 2022, Brandenburg, Wittstock/Dosse: An open-air exhibition stands on the grounds of the Below Forest Memorial. The memorial commemorates the last days of the war in April 1945, when the SS drove about 30,000 prisoners of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp on foot into the northwest of the country. In the forest near Below, the prisoners were forced to live without shelter or food in an area partly fenced by barbed wire and guarded by SS posts. The first memorial stone was erected in the Below forest in 1965. The memorial also includes a part of the road and, on the other side of the road, a flag square for 18 flags of the prisoners' countries of origin and a paved ""roll call square"" for events. Simultaneously with the construction of the memorial, the wooded area was made into a memorial grove, the trees with traces were marked with red angles.
