Refugees in Germany are being housed in a former Nazi concentration camp where thousands of slave-labourers were once held.

Twenty-one male asylum seekers have been moved to the former barracks of the notorious Buchenwald concentration camp, where SS officers killed thousands of prisoners during the Second World War.

The migrants, some of whom have been living in the camp for several months, are being given 135 euros (£99) by the government for food and necessities while they wait to be moved.

Abdurahman Massa, from northern Eritrea, is housed with Ayaya Tsinat, 21, in room number two while he waits for his refugee application to be accepted.

The 20-year-old said he does not mind what the building was before, adding: 'This is good for me,' he told The Weekend Australian.

Another refugee known as Diaoyre, from Algeria, said he'd been living in the building for one week.

He added: 'It is good here. Many others don’t even have this.'

The news that the camp, which has basic cooking facilities and bunk beds, would become home to refugees was originally announced in January.
