Also known as the Black Wall, where SS guards executed thousands of prisoners.

The original wall was removed after Arthur Liebehenschel replaced Rudolf Hoess as the camp commander in November, 1943, and ordered the executions at the wall to stop. A reconstruction stands in its place.

Sad day for this tree...when you see this oil painting up close you actually want to hug it! The eyes are so sad you can feel the tree asking not to be cut down and saved...
You could be accused of being a witch by any two men. You were put on trial and sentenced to be ducked under the water. If you drowned you were innocent. If you could hold your breath long enough you were a witch and were burned. Mugdock Country Park, Milngavie.
