BirthFactDeath (x) Friday 20th of August 1937 89 years, 8 months and 7 days ago
37-year-old Reichsführer of the Schutzstaffel (SS) Heinrich Himmler inaugurates the Konzentrationslager in KZ Buchenwald, Weimar, Thüringen, Germany. The camp was to be named K. L. Ettersberg but this was changed to Buchenwald since Ettersberg carried too many associations with Goethe. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchenwald_concentration_camp
