Presentation set of three rectangular table medals memorializing the victims of the Ravensbruck, Sachsenhausen, and Buchenwald concentration camps, each approx. 1.5 x 3.75 in. Placed into a felt lined case with two snap closures. Fine condition. Unresearched, sold as is.
I'm unfamiliar with these. Does anyone have more information about them? "NATIONALE MAHN UND GEDENKSTATTE" translates to "NATIONAL MONUMENT AND MEMORIAL". An internet search found a German Wikipedia page about national memorials in Buchenwald, Ravensbrück and Sachsenhausen.-Editor
