Prisoners and U.S. soldiers stand behind the Buchenwald gate, on which can be seen the phrase, "Jedem das seine" -- literally, "To each his own," but also translated as "To each his just desserts." Between 239,000 and 250,000 people were imprisoned there; 56,000 died -- a number even more terrible in light of Buchenwald not being, technically, a "death camp," but rather a camp designed to warehouse and exploit slave labor. When the Soviets imprisoned Nazi officials in Buchenwald for several years after the war, "Jedem das seine" was still to be seen on the gate -- a strikingly apt coda to the horrors inflicted there.
