Refugees who fled to Europe are being housed in Buchenwald

The migrants living in a Nazi death camp: Refugees who fled to Europe are being housed in Buchenwald

Housed in a notorious concentration camp: Refugees who fled to Europe for a better life
Twenty-one male asylum seekers have been moved to the former barracks of the notorious Buchenwald concentration camp (left in 1945; right in present day), where SS officers killed thousands of prisoners in the early twentieth century. The migrants, including Abdurahman Massa, 20, and Ayaya Tsinat, 21, (pictured) are being given 135 euros (£99) by the government for food and necessities while they wait to be moved, pending an asylum application. While the two men have said they don't mind being on the Buchenwald site, critics have questioned the decision to house them at a place where more than 56,000 were killed by SS guards.
