Reconstruction of wall, barbed-wire fence, and moat
which originally surrounded the camp
This is the view of the camp that you see as you enter the
Memorial site. The reconstructed ditch only extends part of the
way down the wall. In front of the reconstructed wall is a path
where guards could patrol and in front of the wall, an electrically
charged, barbed-wire fence strung between concrete posts. In
front of the fence is a roll of barbed wire and then a concrete-lined
ditch. In front of the ditch is a strip of grass. Prisoners who
ventured onto the grass strip were shot by the guard without
warning.
