Mass Graves for 300 Victims of the Nazis



The "Sachsenhausen Memorial an Museum: Brief History and Site Plan" which I brought in the Visitor Centre, for 2 Euros (I think), says of the above area I've marked here in red:
MASS GRAVES FOR CONCENTRATION CAMP VICTIMS
Six mass graves for fifty corpses each were dug to bury prisoners who died in the Infirmary Barracks after 22nd/23rd April 1945, when the camp was liberated.


This photo was taken in the position and direction indicated by the yellow arrow on the above aerial photo
