The children's block - Block 66 - was set up at the end of the small camp in January 1945. It was a last-minute rescue for many children and young people.

Hiking

A children's block was set up in January 1945 in barrack 66 at the lower end of the small camp. It was the place of salvation for hundreds of young people and children. When the camp was liberated, there were 904 children and young people in the camp. Most of them had survived in the two children's blocks.
