Turist

Living quarters of the labour camp were arranged in a one-storey brick building which had housed stables and different workshops prior to the war. From 500 to 600 people were placed in the barrack in the summer of 1942. Each of the two reconstructed rooms (13 square meters each) was intended for 22 people. Three layer bunks were constructed in every room with 65-70 cm per person on the bunk. The barrack had no heating, there was no water in the camp. All the prisoners were given numbers which they had to wear on their clothes, and the roll-call took place every morning. 

A daily ration in the labour camp consisted of 125 gr of bread and a plate of soup from potato peels.

The names of the inmates of the two rooms and sketches of the interior were provided by Jack Kagan and Leah Kushner who lived there. The exhibition presents photos of the barrack residents. Their testimonies and interviews are collected in the computer data base.
