Execution Passage | 1959
The passage between the garage complex’s rear wall and the camp wall has become known as the “execution passage”. There is, however, no historical evidence to prove that it was actually used for executions. The passage was temporarily bricked up. It was assumed that this gap between the two structures formed a “death” or “execution passage” because survivors had remembered hearing shots in the area near the crematorium, and therefore the commemorative stone was set up there in 1959.

The "Execution Passage" is behind the Prisoner Compound wall, and between the
rear wall of the garages, pictured here with the guttering, although they look like
part of the same wall in this photo, there is a three foot gap between them.
The garages are pictured here on the left, behind the red van, on the right is the
SS Headquaters, due to the building work going on, this is the closest I could get.
