· Searching the Database This database consists of 88,337 names
of prisoners interned in the Flossenbürg Concentration Camp. The
list was compiled in the 1950's to use as evidence against camp
administators and guards being put on trial for war crimes. The
Flossenbürg Concentration Camp was established in Bavaria in May
1938. It was established to provide forced laborers to factories
in the region. In later years, it became the center of an
extensive network of branch camps for forced laborers. During
its existence, approximately 100,000 prisoners arrived in
Flossenbürg the majority of whom perished. Jews from Hungary,
Czechoslovakia, and Poland arrived from the east in late 1944
and early 1945. In April 1945, as United States military forces
approached the area, over 22,000 prisoners were forced on what
often became death marches from the camp. This prisoner name
list was developed in the mid-1950s as part of evidence in a war
crimes trial against administrators and guards at Flossenbürg.
