Work that had to be done etc in a concentration camp?
The first concentration camp was Dachau which was on the grounds of a former munitions factory. Since the factory buildings were already there, the prisoners worked in factories. Dachau was opened in 1933 and it was six and a half years before the war started, so at first the factories at Dachau did not produce war materials. When new concentration camps such as Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen and Mauthausen were built, starting in 1937, the prisoners worked in quarries and brick factories because Hitler wanted to have materials for his building projects. He wanted to rebuild Berlin and his former home town of Linz where he expected to retire some day. In 1943, the prisoners worked in munitions factories in all the camps. Other than their work in the factories, the prisoners did not have to do their own laundry or their own cooking. They did have to make their beds and keep the floors clean in their barracks. Each prisoner kept his own bowl and spoon with him at all times, so they had to clean their own dishes. The first concentration camp was Dachau which was on the grounds of a former munitions factory.
