There are two places concerned with concentration camp memorialisation in Volksrust. The cemetery associated with the concentration camp dead now takes the form of a Gedenktuin, with a covered formal brick entrance with grave name stones cemented into its walls. It has a 1970s dedicatory plaque. Beyond this are new graves only. The concentration camp dead have been relocated. In the centre of the town there is a fenced off enclosure with a camp Gedenktuin with a 1976 dedicatory plaque, and also 1930s commemoration of the Great Track re-enactment visit. The Gedenktuin mainly features ‘the names of the dead’ etched on stones within a massive memorial, with their actual remains relocated beneath this. There is also a 1990s memorial to black mineworkers who left the Johannesburg mines during the war.
