It served as a model for other camps and held thousands of political prisoners, Jews, and other groups until its liberation in 1945. Today, it stands as a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust and a site for education about the atrocities committed during this period. Visitors to the memorial can explore the preserved grounds, including the original barracks and crematorium. The site also features a museum that provides historical context and personal stories, ensuring that the lessons of the past are remembered and honored.
