Executions of at least 10,800 Soviet prisoners of war by shooting in the neck in the shooting range in the industrial yard between September and November 1941. The prisoners of war were selected from Stalags and transported to the concentration camp, where they were housed in blocks 11, 12, 35 and 36. Every day, 50-60 prisoners were brought to the industrial yard in trucks and killed individually by a shot to the back of the neck in a camouflaged execution room. The bodies were burned in four transportable crematorium ovens and gold teeth were extracted. The app shows an abridged version. The complete data entry contains further details.
