11 April 2021, Thuringia, Weimar: Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier lays a wreath at the memorial site during the commemoration ceremony for the liberation of Buchenwald concentration camp 76 years ago. Between 1937 and 1945, the Nazis deported more than a quarter of a million people from many countries to the concentration camp on the Ettersberg near Weimar. 56,000 people were murdered or died of torture, hunger or forced labour. On 11 April 1945, the camp was liberated with the help of American troops. Photo: Jan Woitas/dpa-Zentralbild/dpa
