Im Rahmen der Initiative „#everynamecounts – Erinnern vor Ort“ stellen wir morgen den Förderverein „Mahn- und #Gedenkstätte #Wakpersberg“ e.V. @OnlineRemember in einem #takeover vor. Mitte April 1944 gab der thüringische Gauleiter Fritz Sauckel den Befehl, bei #Kahla eine riesige unterirdische Produktionsstätte, die "#REIMAHG", zu errichten. Zwischen April 1944 & März 1945 werden mehr als 12.000 Menschen aus dem gesamten besetzten Europa nach Kahla deportiert

As part of the initiative "#everynamecounts – Local Remembrance" we would like to introduce you to the Förderverein “Mahn- und Gedenkstätte Walpersberg” e.V. (Walpersberg Memorial Association), our partner for tomorrow’s takeover. @OnlineRemember In mid-April 1944 the Thuringia Gauleiter Fritz Sauckel gave the order to construct near #Kahla a massive underground production site, called the “#REIMAHG”. Between April 1944 and March 1945, more than 12.000 people from all over occupied Europe, were deported to Kahla.

(1/4) When the Nazis came to power in 1933, their political opponents immediately became the prime target for persecution. They arrested tens of thousands of them and carted them off to makeshift concentration camps like Kemna, #Sachsenburg, or Heuberg. (2/4) Often, little is known about these so-called early concentration camps. Most of the documents were destroyed at the end of the war if not before. So quite early on, in 1950 or thereabouts, employees of the International Tracing Service started to do their own research.
