Set up on March 21 1933 the Oranienburg concentration camp was an early concentration camp and one of the first detention facilities established by the Nazis when they gained power in 1933. It held the Nazis' political opponents from the Berlin region mostly members of the Communist Party of Germany and social-democrats as well as a number of homosexual men. It was established in the center of the town of Oranienburg when the SA took over a disused factory possibly a brewery. Prisoners were marched through the town to perform forced labor on behalf of the local council. The prison was taken over by the SS on 4 July 1934 when the SA was suppressed by the regime. It was closed and subsequently replaced in the area by Sachsenhausen concentration camp in 1936. Gerhart Seger a Social Democrat who was able to escape at the end of 1933 reported on the situation in this book and thus contributed to the Oranienburg Concentration Camp becoming a worldwide symbol of Nazi terror.
