"(...) The most impressive building program since Roman times"
Allied intelligence, at the end of World War II

In 100 years, OT's concrete cast constructions will still tower over the landscape. The tufts where the prison camps stood will, however, have disappeared. The stories of prisoners of war and forced laborers will also disappear if we do not take care of them.
