Remember the Children: The Bullenhuser Damm Memorial

Dr. Iris Groschek

The Neuengamme concentration camp was the largest concentration camp in Northwest Germany, with over 100,000 prisoners between the main camp and its over 85 satellite camps for men and women. At least 42,900 people died. At times, visitors find a memorial site of this size too colossal to comprehend; indeed, smaller memorials often seem to impact visitors more deeply. One such smaller site connected to Neuengamme is the Bullenhuser Damm Memorial.
