Initially it was a subcamp of Sachsenhausen, but in May 1941 the Gross-Rosen became an independent camp. The camp and its subcamps grew from 1,500 inmates at the end of 1941 to about 80,000 at the time the camp was evacuated in January, 1945. It is estimated that at least 125,000 inmates passed through Gross-Rosen and its subcamps.On the picture you see the entrance to the camp.
