Lipowa 7 camp

The Lipowa 7 camp (German: Lindenstraße 7 Lager) was a Nazi forced labor concentration camp, primarily for Jews, by Lipowa Street in Lublin, Poland during December 1939 - 1944.

Gradually it was turned into a confinement camp due to the massive avoiding of work duty and due to the influx of Polish-Jewish and later Soviet POW, as well as imprisoned (non-Jewish) Polish civilians.

In November 1943 during the Operation Harvest Festival the Jewish inmates of the camp were marched out to Majdanek and murdered there, with the exception of few fugitives and a work team designated to remove traces of execution there and a number of other places.

With the advance of the Soviet Army the inmates were evacuated to various locations, and the camp ceased to exist in July 1944.

“On this site in the years 1939-1943 was situated a German SS Labour-Camp for Jewish craftsmen brought from different ghettos as well as several thousand prisoners of war – Jewish soldiers serving in the Polish Army.
