Black Camp 21 - "Excellent...Highly Recommended" - Lee Child

Product Information

The Gedenktuin mainly features ‘the names of the dead’ etched on stones within a massive memorial, with their actual remains relocated beneath this. The cemetery associated with the concentration camp dead now takes the form of a Gedenktuin, with a covered formal brick entrance with grave name stones cemented into its walls. Spreading out behind this formalised and tamed front-area, there is an untidy rough-hewn area of graves which look ‘original’, and are probably older than many such, but still have undergone ‘restoration’ work to make them look ‘proper’. The cemetery is on land owned by a nationalist group, with spaces for contemporary burials just outside.

During this period until its closure in 2004, it was used by many thousands of military personnel from TA, RAF Auxiliary to cadets. Being displayed at the Anna Wintour Costume Center, and linked with the glamorous Met Gala, however, the exhibition naturally emphasises fashion. It was and is the Jews who bring the Negroes into the Rhineland," Hitler wrote, "always with the same secret thought and clear aim of ruining the hated white race by the necessarily resulting bastardisation. In a Variety review, Emmanuel Levy described the film as “utterly formulaic” and “distastefully fake,” and he said that Berry “comes off as too intelligent and refined in the film to flaunt a blonde hairdo and gold teeth,” which speaks to the all-too-familiar idea that black people and characters can’t exist at an intersection, putting limits on us even beyond film.

Based in the beautiful coastal hamlet of Keyhaven, the friendly family-run company has been running since 2015. The Gedenktuin area is completely covered over with stone and features faux-graves indicated by long lines of raised stones. Willow Lake Campground and RV park partners with Black Folks Camp Too to become the first “Unity Blaze Certified” campground and RV park in Canada. The camp dead were buried in the town cemetery, in a separate area and with these graves now cleared away. While anti-Semitism occupied a pre-eminent place at the heart of Nazi ideology, a line in Mein Kampf, the book published in 1925 outlining the political beliefs of party leader Adolf Hitler, linked Jewish and black people.

The Old Cemetery is large and imposing, with the concentration camp graves in a partly separate area which has a formal entrance, a gap in its brick wall marked by two burger war graves memorial stones. Very few others spoke about their experiences while they were alive, and "there have not been many attempts to uncover what eventually happened to the majority of them", Mr Aitken, who is one of the few historians working on the subject, told the BBC. There is an inner enclosure in which the remains of the dead, removed from their graves, have been placed. What remains here is a small highly symbolic Gedenktuin, positioned at the edge of what used to be the old showgrounds.
