Brněnec, Italy

Brünnlitz labor camp

The Brünnlitz labor camp (Arbeitslager Brünnlitz) was a German forced labor camp which was established in 1944 just outside the town of Brněnec (Brünnlitz in German), Sudetengau (part of occupied Czechoslovakia). It operated solely as a site for an armaments factory run by the German industrialist O

skar Schindler, which was in actuality a front for a safe haven for Schindlerjuden. Administratively, it was a sub-camp of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp system. As of 2025, part of the factory site has been converted into a museum.
