Abbe's Factory in Radogoszcz Categories: Locations
Updated: 17-05-2025 Added: 11-07-2023
A camp for detained Poles and Jews in Radogoszcz, moved in late December 1939 from Glazer’s Brickyard (vide Glasers Ziegelei). Its official name was Polizeigefängnis. However, the crew of the camp were not officers of the Schupo, but of the SS. Reconstruction of the factory was performed by Jewish workers numbering 200 men.

Before it was used as a camp, the rebuilt factory served as a transitional rallying point in the period of Voluntary Outsettlement (vide Dobrowolne wysiedlenie).

The camp was liquidated at the end of May 1940, when almost all Jewish detainees were sent to the ghetto, and Poles were sent mostly to the General Government.

Later the camp was opened again when Soviet citizens were interned there (end of June 1941). Jews interned there were then sent to the ghetto at the end of September 1941.
