From April 1944 to April 1945, Langenstein-Zwieberge served as a sub-camp to the much larger Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany. It is believed to have held around 5,000 inmates, most of them Jews. After only one year in operation, around 2,000 of these inmates had died due to starvation, mistreatment and disease. The majority of the inmates were shot by their captors.
