The majority of those imprisoned in the concentration camp were political opponents of the National Socialists. In the “labor education camp” Breitenau, that from the Gestapo Kassel in May 1940 was set up, mostly people were locked up, who were brought to Germany for forced labor. In addition, the camp had the function of a transit camp. Shortly before American troops arrived, a final crime occurred in Breitenau, in which 28 Men were murdered by the Gestapo.
