Lieberose forced labor camp

Memorial to the victims of Lieberose forced labor camp

The Lieberose forced labor camp was a Nazi forced labor camp[1] situated near the village of Lieberose in Brandenberg, Germany. It was a subcamp of Sachsenhausen concentration camp, near Cottbus.[2][3]

Near the end of the war, Jewish prisoners were sent on a death march towards Sachsenhausen.[4]

A mass grave, containing the bodies of hundreds of victims of the Nazis, has been found near the site of the camp.[5][6] The mass grave is believed to be the largest mass grave in Germany which was not itself within a concentration camp.[5]
