Concentration camp cemetery Utting

The Kaufering X subcamp at Utting was evacuated at the end of April 1945. Right after the end of the war, liberated Jewish concentration camp prisoners indicated the mass graves on the edge of the wood near the former subcamp. From 1949, the Bavarian State Compensation Office and the Landsberg am Lech District Administration Office took on the development of the concentration camp cemetery.
