German Concentration Camp

I visited the site of a WW II German concentration camp located in Latvia. There were 39 barracks housing mostly Latvian Jews. There were no ovens at this location but they still killed thousands by hanging. There is also a spot on the way to the camp where 25,000 Jews were executed in a field. The Nazis were walking the Jews to the camp and decided to kill them in an open field. The Nazis killed the 25,000 Jews in less than three days.
