Description
Outstanding questions
- The Memorial has the GPS coordinates pointing to the middle of Helmbrechts, next to the Freiwillige Feuerwehr at on Josef-Witt-Straße 8 (https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=50.235887033168666%2C%2011.71902372992127#map=15/50.23589/11.71902). However, the photo showing the former camp location shows the Weichselweg, Feldweg, Oderstraße (https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?lat=50.232085&lon=11.709964#map=19/50.232085/11.709964)[7]. It is likely that the photo shows the correct location but confirmation would be good.
