Lublin airfield camp

[1][2][3][4] The airfield was located in the area of the Lublin Aircraft Factory (based on the nationalized E. Plage and T. Laśkiewicz Mechanical Works).

During Operation Reinhard the camp was used as sorting grounds to separate skilled laborers from the arriving transports of the Jews.

In the case of the Flugplatz camp this was never implemented because in November 1943 the Operation Harvest Festival to murder Jewish forced laborers in Lublin District was carried out.

[3] In November 2017 a memorial plaque was installed on the site, with the following text:[1] During the German occupation a labour camp for Jews and, initially, small groups of Poles, was located in the area of the former factory airfield.

Between 1942 and 1943, as part of the Third Reich’s plans to exterminate the Jews (“Aktion Reinhardt”), the site was the central sorting facility for property of the victims murdered in Nazi death camps in Bełżec, Sobibór and Treblinka.
