All War Memorials, Military Cemeteries and Camps

War memorials, military cemeteries, war ossuaries and Second World War internment and concentration camp memorial sites this atlas records under Monuments, Towers and Commemorative Structures: among them the Hiroshima Peace Memorial (the Atomic Bomb Dome), the Military Memorial of Monte Grappa, the Sacrario militare dei Caduti Oltremare, and the former camp sites of Fossoli, Kruscica and the Risiera di San Sabba. Belongs here: any war memorial, military cemetery, war ossuary or wartime internment or concentration camp this subcategory records, whether the memorial commemorates combatants or civilian victims. Does not belong here: a commemorative statue or column honoring an individual outside a specifically military or wartime context, gathered under this subcategory's own Commemorative Statues, Columns and Markers group instead.
