German concentration camps in occupied Poland: Plaszow and Sobiborm

Name: Plashov

History: Basically, the Plaszow camp functioned as a labor camp, which is reflected in its name: Plaszow Correctional Labor Camp near Krakow for the chief of police and SS in the Krakow region. As we noticed, the camp in Plaszow was located near Krakow. In January 1944, it was declared a concentration camp. Its main goal was to eliminate the local population of Jewish origin, that is, immigrants from the ghettos of Krakow, Tarnow, etc. During the period of the greatest activity, the camp occupied an area of 80 hectares, it was located in two Jewish cemeteries. He was surrounded by barbed wire, which was under tension. In addition, the Nazi occupier built a ditch filled with water as an external barrier. The prisoners were kept in wooden barracks. In the middle of 1943, Plaszow was incorporated into the branches of the K.L. Majdanek subcamp. It was only in April 1944 that he gained autonomy. Moreover, he even had branches in Wieliczka and Melec. The prisoner's life was extremely difficult. He had to do hard physical work in adverse conditions. Nazi torturers used sophisticated methods of torturing prisoners.
Liberation: When the last stage of the evacuation of Plaszow camp took place in January 1945, there were only a few prisoners in the camp. Some of them were sent, for example, to Auschwitz or Treblinka. The last transport with prisoners left on January 15, 1945. Two days later, the Red Army entered the camp.
Estimated number of victims: Up to 150,000 people passed through the camp. Up to 80,000 of them died.

Name: Sobibor

History: Another center organized for Operation Reinhard, the main purpose of which was the extermination of the Jewish people. According to the assumptions of Operation Reinhard, the Sobibor camp was under the command of Otto Globocnik. Inside the building, of course, were the commandants: Richard Tomalla, Franz Stangl and Franz Reichleitner. In March 1942, the construction of the Sobibor camp began. There were already buildings there that had served as a labor camp since 1940 (included in the structure of the network of labor camps organized in nearby areas). However, the most important was the mass extermination camp, which began operating in May 1942. Initially, the camp in Sobibor occupied a little more than 12 hectares, over time it was expanded to 58.8 hectares. The area was fenced with barbed wire. To make escape even more difficult, a strip of land around the camp was mined. The posts were protected by guard towers where the SS were stationed. There were about 30 people in the camp. In addition, they were supported by Ukrainian guards recruited from local supporters of the Nazi troops. The internal division of the camp developed quite quickly - there was a forlager with a railway ramp and four parts of the camp. There were residential buildings in the ZI, in the 2nd square and reloading barracks, in the 3rd gas chambers and mass graves. Finally, IV was not created until 1943 and had no established significance in the life of the camp. The Minimum deposits apply, and terms must be met to withdraw winnings.
