Jewish Cemetery (Landsberg am Lech / Kaufering European Holocaust Memorial)

From June 1944, the Kaufering concentration camp complex with eleven subcamps of the Dachau concentration camp was built in the greater Landsberg am Lech district. Exploiting the labor of predominantly Jewish forced laborers, three semi-subterranean bomb-proof bunkers for German aircraft production were to be built here under the overall construction management of the Organisation Todt (code name Ringeltaube). Part of the former concentration camp Kaufering VII could be restored to a dignified condition through decades of civic commitment, secured for future generations and developed into a European Holocaust memorial.
