The Winburg concentration camp cemetery is in a now desolate area. There is a brick gedenktuin style entrance with a massive War Graves Commission symbol. The entrance leads through a passage way to an area at the back of the entrance which holds ‘the names of the dead’. The whole of this Gedenktuin area is on a plinth on a small hill. Turning round from the enclosure and looking down, on one side there are camp graves and on the other some military ones. The seeming camp graves have been ‘restored’, each in a cement surround and with a name each head, although these do not correspond to the cemetery plan. The actual remains of the dead are beneath the plinth and close to the names, and so contained within the Gedenktuin.
