It is estimated that around 56,000 people died in the Buchenwald concentration camp, which was located in Germany and operated from 1937 to 1945. The camp was primarily used by the Nazis to imprison political dissidents, Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, Roma and Sinti people, as well as Jews and others deemed "enemies of the state."

The Nazis used various methods to kill prisoners in the Buchenwald concentration camp, including gassing, shootings, beatings, and forced labor under dangerous conditions that caused many prisoners to succumb to illness or injury. Some inmates were also subjected to medical experimentation and other forms of torture, and many died from starvation or exposure to harsh conditions.

It is important to remember that the atrocities committed in Buchenwald and other concentration camps were just a small part of the larger system of genocide and violence perpetrated by the Nazis during the Holocaust. The true scale and horror of the Holocaust, which resulted in the systematic murder of more than six million Jews, as well as many other groups, represent one of the darkest periods in human history.
