It was originally a ghetto, but later had six separate camps in the ghetto area.

  1. Konzentrationslager (concentration camp) at Koło area (formerly a Kreigsgefangenenlager POW camp for the Polish Army soldiers captured in 1939);
  2. Vernichtungslager (extermination camp) near the Warszawa Zachodnia train station (this part remains very controversional);
  3. Gęsia Street (now: Anielewicza Street) concentration camp (formerly Arbeitserziehungslager, or "re-educational labour camp") in the former getto known as Gęsiówka;
  4. a camp for foreign Jews located on Nowolipie Street;
  5. Bonifraterska Street camp near Muranowski Square in the former ghetto;
  6. the former Gestapo prison on Pawia Street known as Pawiak.

After the complete destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto in April-May 1943 the area was used as the site of a concentration camp.
