Gabersdorf labour camp

The Gabersdorf forced labour camp (also known as Wolta or Wolta-Gabersdorf), later a Nazi concentration camp, was located at Libeč (today part of Trutnov) in Czechoslovakia.

In the camp, Jewish women[1] were detained who worked at the textile factories of Hasse and company, Etrich, and Vereinigte Textilwerke K. H. Barthel. The camp was established in 1941 and became a subcamp of Gross-Rosen on 22 March 1944. According to a survivor, there were about 70 women in one barracks. The typical camp meal was a soup of water and rutabaga. Daily rations declined in quality and quantity over time; as the war progressed, the prisoners' daily portion of bread was decreased to 220 grams. The camp was liberated by the Russian army on 6 May 1945.[2][3]
