Abstract:
A sub-camp of Auschwitz, the factory in Siemianowice Śląskie was owned by the Rheinmetall Borsig AG company of Dusseldorf. The camp opened in early April 1944 when a transport of about 200 prisoners, mostly Jews from France and Holland, arrived there. They manufactured anti-tank and anti-aircraft artillery. More prisoners followed over the subsequent months, and the population rose steadily to 550 prisoners in the summer and 937 in the days before evacuation in January 1945, when the prisoners were transported to Mauthausen.
