14 September 2014: The Kinderhaus in Camp King, where the Open Monument Day took place today, had its doors open to the public from 10am – 5pm. I helped out as a volunteer in the early part of the day.

There were about a dozen visitors around noon;  Hermann Schmidt offered  research service  in this room.

After listening to a very informative talk by Gerd Krämer, visitors were also shown short UFA films.

There were also a couple showcases of war memorabilia.

Translation for the picture below: In March 1945, when the camp was cleared, this file rack found its way to a suburb in Frankfurt. The new owner restored the rack, and to this day, it carries this sign on the bottom side of the lower shelf.

These medals belong to the Camp King Archive.
