Holocaust concentration camps money - Germany - 1 mark 1944 - Flossenburg. The Flossenbürg camp was a concentration camp established by the Nazis in 1938 in the settlement of the same name near the city of Weiden, in the Upper Palatinate Forest (Oberpfälzer Wald) in Bavaria, close to the border with the Sudetenland. In total, about 90,000 people were imprisoned in the camp, of which at least 30,000 were murdered. Although the camp was expanded again and again, the number of inmates was always much higher than the capacity of the camp. The living conditions in the camp were unbearably difficult. The hard work in the quarries and the unsatisfactory treatment the inmates received in the camp, as well as the cruelty of the camp's guards and guards, cost many prisoners their lives. On April 8, 1945, the SS men in the camp began to eliminate the evidence of what happened there (Operation 1005). On April 20, 1945, the camp was finally evacuated. His commander Max Koegel ordered a death march in the direction of the Dachau concentration camp. After the end of World War II, about 5,000 bodies were found along the death march routes of the prisoners. About 1,600 prisoners remained in the camp who were unfit for the journey.
