In Ohrdruf, where a subcamp of the Buchenwald concentration camp once stood, the Path of Remembrance on the traces of the past.
The “Path of Remembrance” project at Gleichense High School in Ohrdruf commemorates the prisoners of the former Ohrdruf concentration camp. Year 9 pupils design concrete figures that symbolize the victims and place them around the town. The result is a memorial trail that makes history visible and encourages reflection.
With this project, the young people are making an important contribution to the culture of remembrance and setting an example against forgetting. The “Path of Remembrance” invites them to pause for a moment, reflect on history and take responsibility for a humane future.
