NEVER FORGET
VISIONS OF THE NAZI CAMPS


Neuengamme

   
           

Concentration Camp Neuengamme
Labor Camp Drütte
 

Neuengamme, the large concentration camp near Hamburg, opened December 14, 1938, as a subcamp of Sachsenhausen, and became independent on June 4, 1940. It was liberated by British armed forces on April 29, 1945. Drütte, near Brunswick, was administered by the Neuengamme commandant, providing slave laborers for a Reichswerke Hermann Göring munitions factory.

Below: Note that the sender of the February 5, 1943, formular envelope was later a prisoner at the Flossenbürg concentration camp. The July 13, 1944, waybill accompanied a parcel sent to a Nazi SS guard at Drütte.
