Eutin concentration camp

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Eutin concentration camp (mostly referred to as Eutin concentration camp ) was an early (“wild”) concentration camp in Eutin in Schleswig-Holstein from around July 1933 to May 1934.

Most of those imprisoned there were Nazi opponents - mostly communists , social democrats , trade unionists - and others who were unpopular with the Nazi regime .

The prisoners of the Eutin concentration camp were used in road construction work and in work to drain the "Lindenbruch" moorland. Many prisoners were mistreated - there were no deaths.

A total of 259 prisoners were held in the Eutin concentration camp - 20 to 40 prisoners at a time.
