Gross-Rosen
All articlesGross-Rosen was a Nazi concentration camp located in Lower Silesia, Poland, established in 1940. Initially a labor camp, it became a major site for the exploitation of prisoners in nearby quarries, and later expanded to house forced laborers in various industries. The camp held tens of thousands of Jewish, Polish, Soviet, and other persecuted groups. As Soviet forces advanced in 1945, the Nazis evacuated Gross-Rosen, sending prisoners on death marches. The camp was liberated by Soviet troops in February 1945, revealing the extent of the atrocities committed there. Today, it serves as a memorial.
