The prisoners in Buchenwald came from many places throughout Europe. People from Poland and Slovenia but also many religious and political prisoners, Gypsies (Roma), homosexuals, Jews and prisoners of war.

Buchenwald was mainly for housing forced labour for armament factories.

The ending of the war did not mean the end of the camp as the Soviet Union used it to house more than 28,000 prisoners between 1945 and 1950.
