No. Moreover, it wasn't a camp in the conventional sense. It was an extermination centre. The victims were taken first to a 'reception centre' located in an old manor house. Then they were taken, usually in groups of about fifty (plus) to the basement, where they were loaded on to a van. The doors were shut tightly, the petrol engine started and the exhaust fumes were released into the inside of the van. The van then drove off to the graves ...
