  • Block 66, the Children's Block, or Kinderblock was part of Buchenwald concentration camp, in what was known as the "little camp", which was separated from the rest of the camp by barbed wire. Buchenwald was a labor camp, and as a result a child's chances of survival depended greatly on their age. The older they were, the better, because that meant that they were fit to do work. Oftentimes, children lied about their ages to make them older, so that rather than being sent to Auschwitz or Bergen-Belsen to be killed, they could work in the camp. Children were at high risk for being killed at Buchenwald, because if they were too weak or young, this meant that they were unfit for labor, and therefore had no use. The creation of the children's barrack, Block 66, served to protect these children from the Nazi agenda. (en)
  • Le Block 66, aussi appelé le « block des enfants » ou Kinderblock, est un camp satellite de Buchenwald, créé dans la partie surnommée le « petit camp », séparée du reste du camp de concentration nazi par une clôture en fil de fer barbelé. Créé en 1945 pour détenir de jeunes prisonniers, il est libéré par les Alliés en avril 1945. Buchenwald étant un camp de travail, les chances de survie d'un enfant dépendaient beaucoup de son âge. Les enfants les plus âgés avaient de meilleures perspectives parce qu'ils pouvaient travailler. Souvent, les enfants mentaient sur leur âge, afin de se vieillir ; au lieu d'être envoyés et assassinés à Auschwitz ou à Bergen-Belsen, cette tactique leur permettait d'être affectés à un travail. Les enfants subissaient des risques élevés d'un assassinat à Buchenwald : s'ils étaient trop faibles ou trop jeunes, ils ne pouvaient pas effectuer un travail et par conséquent les autorités du camp les voyaient comme inutiles. La création du baraquement du bloc 66 visait à protéger ces enfants des visées meurtrières du Troisième Reich. (fr)
  • I bambini di Buchenwald sono un gruppo di 904 bambini e adolescenti sopravvissuti al campo di concentramento di Buchenwald. La maggior parte di loro si salvarono grazie alla solidarietà di alcuni prigionieri più anziani che si organizzarono per la loro salvezza, riuscendo a proteggerli fino alla Liberazione. Tra i bambini sopravvissuti c'erano anche Elie Wiesel, Imre Kertész, Yisrael Meir Lau, David Perlmutter, , Thomas Geve, Gert Schramm (il più giovane prigioniero nero del campo) e i piccoli Stefan Jerzy Zweig e Joseph Schleifstein. C'erano anche i giovani ebrei italiani Sabatino Finzi e Gilberto Salmoni. (it)
