Perimeter fence (partly reconstructed in 1965) The in 1937-38 newly erected prison camp was surrounded by a perimeter fence designed to make escape impossible. SS men kept watch over the camp from seven watchtowers. The instant a prisoner entered the prohibited zone he was fired upon. Some prisoners ran into the border strip on purpose in order to put an end to their suffering.

The Camp Road After the morning assembly in the block roads the prisoners marched along the camp road to the roll-call area. After work and the evening roll call the returned in closed formation to their barracks. The road lined with poplars was the prisoners' central meeting place. In the few hours they had, here they could meet friends from other barracks and exchange information. The "spirit of the camp road," as the prisoners expressed it, was a symbol of the solidarity amongst the prisoners whcih developed despite the omnipresent violence.
