This bakery was owned by Nazi SS shell company Deutsche Ausrüstungswerke and later Deutsche Lebensmittel GmbH to provide bread for the SS and concentration camp prisoners. About 80 slave laborers from KZ Sachsenhausen were transported to here every day to bake bread.

These are all excellent! Your use of black & white seems very appropriate given the history of the location, and adds a very fitting note of melancholy to the scenes.
Was the building used at all after the war, or has it been abandoned since the liberation of the camps?

I'm jealous such an interesting location with an interesting and dark history. If this were in the United States it would be covered in vandalism and pointless graffiti.
