Senftenberg concentration camp
The concentration camp Senftenberg (short KZ Senftenberg ) was an early German concentration camp in the Nazi era .
On the initiative of the city of Senftenberg and with the support of the local SA Storm, it was built in the gym of primary school I at the beginning of June 1933. After a wave of arrests on June 24th and 25th, more than 265 people were in the camp. The prisoners were mostly communists , social democrats and union officials from Senftenberg and the surrounding area. After the dissolution in mid-August 1933, most of the prisoners were released. The remaining prisoners were held in the Senftenberg Police Prison. Due to the poor prison conditions, the pregnant Marianne Seidel, SPD parliamentary group leader of the district council of the Calau district , fell so seriously that she died on July 10, 1933 in Senftenberg hospital.
