About Flossenbürg Concentration Camp

Flossenbürg Concentration Camp is a historic site. Location: Flossenbürg, Neustadt an der Waldnaab.

From Wikipedia

Flossenbürg was a Nazi concentration camp built in May 1938 by the SS Main Economic and Administrative Office. Unlike other concentration camps, it was located in a remote area, in the Fichtel Mountains of Bavaria, adjacent to the town of Flossenbürg and near the German border with Czechoslovakia. The camp's initial purpose was to exploit the forced labor of prisoners for the production of granite for Nazi architecture.
