The Hersbruck concentration camp, located in the city of the same name, was a sub-camp of the larger Flossenbürg camp. It was operational from July 1944 to March 1945, serving as a grim reminder of the atrocities committed during the Nazi regime.
Inhabitants of the Hersbruck Concentration Camp
The Hersbruck concentration camp was home to 10,000 prisoners from various nationalities, including Italians, Austrians, French, Belgians, Dutch, Hungarians, Romanians, Spaniards, Russians, Czechs, Poles, Yugoslavs, and Germans. Jews were also among the prisoners, reflecting the widespread persecution during the Nazi era.
Forced Labor at the Hersbruck Concentration Camp
Prisoners at the Hersbruck concentration camp were forced to work in harsh conditions. They were sent daily to Happurg, a town eight kilometers away, to build an underground tunnel system known as the Stollenbau. This was intended to house workshops that would be safe from air raids. Another site of forced labor was Nuremberg, where prisoners were tasked with clearing railway tracks damaged by bombings.
