Goethe's house on the Frauenplan, Weimar 1937

The long baroque front of Goethe's house on the Frauenplan, with its mansard roof, is hung from end to end with swags and wreaths of evergreen; a woman in a wide straw hat passes close in front of an open car, a young man walks toward the camera, and women with prams, men in uniform and children cross the cobbled square. Goethe lived here from 1782 until his death in 1832. In July 1937 the SS opened a concentration camp on the Ettersberg, a few kilometres above the town, and named it Buchenwald.
