Trawniki concentration camp (Poland)

Concentration camp initially established in July 1941 for the incarceration of Soviet soldiers and civilian prisoners. Under Operation “Reinhard” Trawniki was used as a training facility for police deployments and, between June 1942 and September 1943, housed Jewish forced laborers. From September 1943, Trawniki was part of the Majdanek camp complex. Approximately 6,000 inmates were shot during Operation “Harvest Festival” on November 3, 1943.
