The memorial in Lüneburg's Tiergarten commemorates a mass grave of 256 concentration camp prisoners. These individuals perished when their transport from the Wilhelmshaven camp, a subcamp of Neuengamme, was bombed on April 7, 1945. Up to 80 injured and weakened prisoners unable to continue were executed by their guards on April 11, 1945, and are buried here.
