- Buchenwald is said to be the most notorious concentration camp located in East Germany.
- There were more than 10,000 prisoners sent to the Buchenwald concentration camp.
- By the end of February of 1945, the number of prisoners increased to 112,000. This number was most likely achieved because the camp would sometimes take in 6,000 prisoners a day.
- Prisoners were held in the northern section of the camp, known as the "main camp," while SS guards and camp administration stayed in the southern section.
