Stutthof (set) concentration camp, Poland
It was built in the middle of 1943. At the beginning, the inmates clothing was desinfected there. Since the end of June 1944 to the end of October 1944 it was also a place for executions. As part of the "Sonderbehandlung" action, the Jews that weren´t able to work, polish guerillas from the Bilystok region, and 77 handicapped Russion prisoners of war were executed with gas, Cyklone B there.
After the selection: "A group of 300 was gathered in front of the canteen after supper and loaded on a normal wooden cart. It often happened in front of the family members, and the father, standing near, couldn´t save his son or brother the other one. The victims, loaded on the cart, were so weak, that [...] they did not protest against bringing them to the slaughterhouse. But if there really was somebody who couldn´t agree with being passively sent to the executioner, some "B.Ver." would just lay him on the ones already sitting on the cart.[...] On the same day, the Jews taken from my block were during the roll-call referred to as...commanded away".
