This man was so tired of suffering he hung himself. The picture next to it was a man trying to escape through the barbed-wire fence.
The International Monument at the Dachau Memorial Site was formally dedicated in September 1968. The photo below shows the sculpture created by Nandor Glid. The sculpture is made of dark bronze. It features short strands of barbed wire on which skeletons are hanging with their heads dangling sharply. On either side of the sculpture are concrete fence posts which closely resemble the ones actually used to support the barbed wire fence around the camp. Underneath the sculpture are the dates 1933 - 1945, the years that the camp was used as a concentration camp for anti-Nazis.
