Maly Trostenets is a few kilometres from Minsk in Belarus; this was a konzentrationslager. Incidentally the camp was 12 km from Kurapaty, the site of NKVD mass murders in the great terror.
Almost forgotten by history, the Nazi concentration camp Maly Trostenets became the largest Nazi concentration camp in the territories of the former Soviet Union. It was originally thought that Hรคftlinge (inmates) were Soviet Civilians. No partisans would be sent there are these were summarily executed without exception.
According to Dortmund-based International Education and Exchange Center (IBB): link
Whether the people perished or murdered is not the issue here at the moment; most information on the Belarus camps are shrouded in Soviet propaganda, lost in the fog of time.
Interestingly the inmates of this camp were from the West; this is confirmation of the Eastern drive of Jews across the General Government. Maly Trostenets is just a single camp; there were 260 others in the country no doubt filled to the brim with more Western jews.
Also interestingly the Belarusian Central Council evacuated ahead of the Soviet Advance, heading to Prussia.
What happend to the surviving jews must be in those post war camps for dispaced people.

According to Dortmund-based International Education and Exchange Center (IBB): link
Between spring 1942 and summer 1944, between 60,000 and 200,000 people were murdered at the camp, according to different estimates. Jews from Western Europe were the largest group among the victims, with an estimated 22,000 German Jews among them, according to the Dortmund-based International Education and Exchange Center (IBB).

After evacuation, the leadership of the BCR has formed the base for Belarusian self-organization in the post-war camps for Displaced persons.
