Gross-Rosen concentration camp (Poland)

Established in 1940 as a satellite of Sachsenhausen concentration camp, from 1941 Gross-Rosen became the administrative center of an industrial complex comprising 97 subcamps where prisoners performed forced labor in armaments production and for German industry in privately-owned factories. The textile factory of Oskar Schindler (portrayed in the 1993 film Schindler's List) was located at the Gross-Rosen subcamp of Bruennlitz.

The prisoner population at Gross-Rosen grew significantly from 1943 until early 1945. An estimated 120,000 prisoners passed through the Gross-Rosen camp system, including a large percentage of female prisoners. At least 40,000 prisoners died here.
