in camp no. iii, which housed about 3,000 prisoners, there was not enough shelter for everyone. at first, inmates slept in the attics of the camp's workshops, in an open depot used as a railway "tunnel", or simply outside in the open. a short time later, eight barracks were built. inmates slept in six of these barracks. the other two were used as a "clinic" and a "hospital." these were not places where inmates could get medical treatment and get better. they were places where sick inmates were put together to die or be killed.
