Pilsener Brewery

Pilsener Urquell Brewery visit in Pilsen, Czech Republic. 




Pilsner (also pilsenerpilsen or simply pils) is a type of pale lager. It takes its name from the city of PlzeňBohemiaCzech Republic, where it was first produced in 1842.[1] The world’s first-ever blond lager was the Pilsner Urquell,[2] making it the inspiration for more than two-thirds of the beer produced in the world today (which are still called pils, pilsner and pilsener).[3]The original Pilsner Urquell beer is still produced there today.

Memorial at Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp
The camp was established in 1936. It was located 35 kilometres (22 mi) north of Berlin, which gave it a primary position among the German concentration camps: the administrative centre of all concentration camps was located in Oranienburg, and Sachsenhausen became a training centre for Schutzstaffel (SS) officers (who would often be sent to oversee other camps afterwards). Executions took place at Sachsenhausen, especially of Soviet prisoners of war. Among the prisoners, there was a "hierarchy": at the top, criminals (rapists, murderers), then Communists (red triangles), then homosexuals (pink triangles), Jehovah's Witnesses (purple triangles), and Jews (yellow triangles).[citation needed] During the earlier stages of the camp's existence the executions were done in a trench, either by shooting or by hanging. A large task force of prisoners was used from the camp to work in nearby brickworks to meet Albert Speer's vision of rebuilding Berlin.[1] Sachsenhausen was originally not intended as an extermination camp—instead, the systematic murder was conducted in camps to the east. In 1942 large numbers of Jewish inmates were relocated to Auschwitz. However the construction of a gas chamber and ovens by camp-commandant Anton Kaindl in March 1943[2] facilitated the means to kill larger numbers of prisoners.  Wikipedia
