RT may refer to:
Internment is the imprisonment or confinement of people, commonly in large groups, without trial. Collins English dictionary adds that the term is especially used for the confinement "of enemy citizens in wartime or of terrorism suspects". Thus, while it can simply mean imprisonment, it tends to refer to preventive confinement, rather than confinement after having been convicted of some crime. Use of these terms is subject to debate and political sensitivities.
Interned persons may be held at prisons or at facilities known as internment camps. In certain contexts, these may also be known either officially or pejoratively, as concentration camps.
Internment also refers to the practice of neutral countries in time of war in detaining belligerent armed forces and equipment in their territories under the Hague Convention of 1907.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights restricts the use of internment. Article 9 states that "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile."

Buchenwald concentration camp (German: Konzentrationslager (KZ) Buchenwald, IPA: [ˈbuːxənvalt]; literally, in English: beech forest) was a German Nazi concentration camp established on the Ettersberg (Etter Mountain) near Weimar, Germany, in July 1937, one of the first and the largest of the concentration camps on German soil, following Dachau's opening just over four years earlier.
Prisoners from all over Europe and the Soviet Union—Jews, Poles and other Slavs, the mentally ill and physically-disabled from birth defects, religious and political prisoners, Roma and Sinti, Freemasons, Jehovah's Witnesses (then called Bible Students), criminals, homosexuals, and prisoners of war—worked primarily as forced labor in local armaments factories. From 1945 to 1950, the camp was used by the Soviet occupation authorities as an internment camp, known as NKVD special camp number 2.
Today the remains of Buchenwald serve as a memorial and permanent exhibition and museum.

Johannes Steyer was 27 yrs old and one of thousands of Jehovah's Witnesses sent to concentration camps before and during WWII. Jehovah's Witnesses wore a purple triangle on their prison clothes. Hitler's prostitution with powerful churches and his lust for power created a personal vendetta against Witnesses who spoke out years before WWII started. Hitler was quoted saying "I will exterminate that brood..". Witnesses were unique among prisoners because they could be free at any moment just by signing a "declaration" renouncing their faith (http://www.alst.org/pages-us/primary-documents/declaration.html). As a group they were segregated from the rest of the camp within barb-wired barracks and were always assigned the most difficult of work assignments right away, but were also trusted with...
An exhibition of art work by former Nazi concentration camp prisoner Pierre Provost opened on Saturday at the National Buchenwald Memorial in the German city of Weimar to mark the 70th anniversary of the camp's liberation. The exhibition named "My Engravings Show the Whole Camp," features about 100 works of the French artist, who was a member of the French Resistance at the Buchenwald concentration camp, ranging from engravings and paintings to written accounts. Provost, who was born in 1895, was imprisoned in Buchenwald as a political inmate in 1944. During his incarceration, he collected all the materials he could at the camp and used them in his work. Self-portraits, letters, a prison uniform and other items Provost used at the camp are also on display. Provost was released in 19...

2015 marks the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp. One of the survivors, Heinrich Rotmensch, recalled his miseries suffered in the camp at the liberation memorial activity on Saturday, Weimar, Germany. According to Heinrich Rotmensch, when the Nazis ruled Germany, he, a 15-year-old child, was detained by the Nazi SS. This happened on Oct. 25, 1939, as he was sending a message to his uncle in another city and was kept in the camps until April 28, 1945. A local German, Rotmensch studied, played, lived and grew up just like any other German children. But his fate was completely changed just due to his Jewish identity. After 1939, he never met his parents again and later learned that his mother died in a gas chamber of the Auschwitz Concentration ...
