The imposing obelisk of the Sachsenhausen memorial stands in the camp area with a sculptural group depicting liberated prisoners. The bronze figures represent detainees of different nationalities supporting each other, symbolizing solidarity among victims and the liberation that occurred in April 1945. The names of nations whose citizens were interned in the camp are engraved on the base. This monument, erected in the 1960s by the GDR, has become the symbol of the memorial and a place of international commemoration.
