Gifted to the Albanian people by the German government, it serves as a powerful reminder of the relentless human spirit, the importance of unity, and the ultimate triumph of democracy over oppression.

It features concrete pillars from a labor camp, a bunker typical of the era, and a mine shaft from the infamous Spac labor camp.

It stands as a testament to the resilience of those who suffered and a stark reminder of the importance of freedom and human rights.
