In the center of the large quarry wall containing many memorial plaques.

A gray marble inscribed plaque.

From the US Holocaust Museum Website: 

The plaque remembers the 89^th “Rolling W” Infantry Division's liberation of the Walpersberg Slave Labor Concentration Camp. The Camp was used to build the Me 262 Jet Aircraft built by forced labor from many different nations.

The 89^th Infantry Division liberated this camp in April 1945. 

The 89^th Infantry Division along with the 4^th Armored Division also liberated the nearby Ohrdruf Concentration Camp which  was a subcamp of the Buchenwald concentration camp. Ohrdruf was the first Nazi camp liberated by US troops. 

The 89^th Infantry Division and the 4^th Armored Division were recognized as liberating units by the US Army's Center of Military History and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 1994.
