#REDIRECT [[Nordhausen Concentration Camp]]
The '''Nordhausen Concentration Camp''', so-called after its location five miles from the town center of [[Nordhausen]], [[Germany]], was one of several Nazi death camps.  In its official function, it was a specialized slave labor camp. Originally a [[Nazi concentration camps|subcamp]] of [[Buchenwald Concentration Camp]], Nordhausen became a full camp in October 1944, with large underground facilities where slave labor worked on [[V-2]] missiles and other war production.<ref name=Dora-Mit/>  The brutal conditions of the camp are documented in the Warfare History Network's article called "The Liberation of the Nordhausen Concentration Camp".<ref name=WHN />
 
== Rewriting of history by social media ==
The locations of Nazi death camps were originally used to refer to the camps, at least in the [[United States of America|U.S.]].  The U.S. government-run National Archives at College Park, Maryland, holds records referring to several World War II Nazi concentration camps by location, including Buchenwald, Dachau, Flossenberg, Nordhausen, and Mauthausen.<ref name=NatArch /> 
 
Modern anonymous writers in Wikipedia have renamed the Nordhausen camp as ''Dora-Mittelbau Concentration Camp''.  This renaming has made it possible for the horrors of the camp to become disassociated from the article about the town of Nordhausen, Germany.  The long Wikipedia article on Nordhausen includes only a brief reference to the concentration camp (now free of its town name), and in a photo subtitle, the Wikipedia Nordhausen article refers to the camp as an "underground factory".
