Gross Rosen concentration camp, a grim chapter from World War II, emerged as a subcamp of Sachsenhausen near Berlin. Established in August 1940, it swiftly gained notoriety as one of the harshest in the German Third Reich. The first prisoners endured grueling 12-hour shifts in the local granite quarry, receiving meager rations and minimal medical aid. Of the 125,000 inmates, including Jews, Poles, and citizens of the Soviet Union, an estimated 40,000 fell victim to the brutal conditions during its existence. This haunting history serves as a solemn reminder of the atrocities witnessed within the camp's confines.
