Middelburg was a large camp and there are three cemetery areas. The New Cemetery has within it memorials from different time-periods crowded near each other. A large grave area has been ‘restored’ to considerable uniformity and regularity. A ‘Memento Mori’ memorial is placed near a ‘Vergeet?’memorial. ‘Memento Mori’ summarises the number of those who died, but there are no names of the dead here. 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. There is a rough-hewn memorial naming the dead. The Suburbs Cemetery has four long rows of graves ‘restored’ uniformly to look something like coffins. Here there are no names nor even counts of the dead, apart from occasional headstones.
