Gross-Rosen

Gross-Rosen was a Nazi concentration camp, first set up in the summer of 1940 as a satellite camp to Sachsenhausen. It became an independent camp in 1941. It was liberated on the 14th Feb 1945 by the Red Army. One of the subcamps of Gross-Rosen was situated in the Czechoslovakian town of Brunnlitz. It was in this camp that Schindler's Jews survived the Holocaust. A total of 125,000 prisoners passed through the complex and 40,000 died.
