Buchenwald was one of the largest concentration camps in Nazi Germany, to which some 138 subcamps were affiliated. The Buchenwald camp operated from its establishment in July 1937 until its liberation by the United States Army on April 11, 1945. During that period some 250,000 people passed through. It is estimated that about 65,000 people were murdered in Buchenwald, including the prisoners who were murdered on death marches with the announcement of the Allied forces approaching, shortly before the liberation of the camp.
