Kokoszki (Polish pronunciation: [kɔkɔʂki]; German: Kokoschken; Kashubian: Kòkòszczi) is a district of Gdańsk, Poland, located in the western part of the city.
As part of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, Kokoszki was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Gdańsk County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.
Camp Danzig-Kokoschken operated from September 13, 1944 with prisoners from Poland, France, Netherlands, Lithuania, Latvia, Germany and Hungary, mostly of Jewish origin.
The prisoners were kept in barracks from where they were transported every day by train to the Schichau-Werke shipyard, to work two 12-hour shifts building submarines and anti-raid shelters.
[3] The prisoners received rations of half-a-litre of watery soup and 250 grams of bread per day; not enough to sustain their ability to work.
