Poland to mark Pustkow, little-known Nazi concentration camp
WARSAW -- Authorities are working on plans to mark a little-known Nazi concentration camp and nearby military installation.
The Pustkow labor camp, where 15,000 inmates died, was dismantled before the end of the war, and local official Andrzej Regula said Thursday it needs to be recognized before its existence is forgotten with the passage of time.
"If 15,000 people were killed here, the world should know about this," Regula said in a telephone interview from the area, about 180 miles south of Warsaw. "Everyone knows about Auschwitz because it was left there, but Pustkow was taken apart and no one knows about it."
Current ideas include a museum or reconstructing some of the camp's barracks, Regula said.
