Other Camps

Under the “Inspection of the concentration camps”, there were a total of 24 main concentration camps, to which well over 1,000 subcamps were organizationally subordinated - some of them under terms such as subcamps or secondary camps. If one includes other facilities such as forced labor camps, POW camps, ghettos and “Jewish houses”, brothels or “Euthanasia” Centers, the number is considerably higher.
