Jedem das Seine Sign on the Gate at Buchenwald

Buchenwald was the only concentration camp where the motto “Jedem das Seine” was used at the main camp entrance gate. It can be translated as “to each his own” or “to each what he deserves” and was purposely placed so prisoners could read this message from the main roll call square.
