Jüdische Zwangsarbeit. Jewish Forced Labour (Judenlagers)
The Reich employed 13.5 million foreign laborers during the war, though the greatest was in 1941 with 7.6 million; this included Jews. The workforce was paid though this was a pittance in some cases.
Between 1933 and 1945, das nationalsozialistische regime established a system of crime sites throughout Europe. In addition to concentration camps, sites termed “labour reformatory camps,“ “camps for the protection of juveniles“ and “police detention camps“ were erected, although the living conditions in these camps differed very little from those in the concentration camps.
So far over 3600 sites have been recorded. For the first time, various maps that visually present the topography of persecution were created based on collected facts.

I have discussed this previously to some extent here in the Malkinia thread.
There were at least:
- 1030 Judenlagers in Poland
- 123 Judenlagers in Ostland and Ukraine
- 50 Judenlagers Austria for Hungarian Jews
Here are the images of the Judenlagers or Jüdische Zwangsarbeitlagers by the years 1939 - 1945. One should consider the following:
- The flow eastwards of the camps and then the retreat to the west as the Soviets advanced.
- An average of 2000 inmates (häftling) in 3600 camps amounts to 7.2 million people. The number of judenlagers are 1203 which would hold 2.4 million Jews
It is clear from the Sobibor survivors that people arrived and left in droves except for those "aktioned" under 14F13 or concentration camp euthanasia.
The women were taken away on the same train that had brought them there. Jetje had not been able to get a clear picture of the camp. ‘We didn’t know what Sobibor actually was. Jetje and Sientje Veterman
It is clear that these people were very mobile moving from one camp to another as work was needed, so the actual inmate population would be less.
It is not clear whether the authors of the documents included the Schmeldt and Todt organizations; most likely not as a considerable number of Jews worked in the Channel Islands, which are not included. The data does not include some
konzentrationslager or youth camps even though those in the Kaiserwald and Birkenau had a considerable Jewish population.
Here are the camps during the duration of the war:
1939
1940
1941
1942
1943
1944
1945
JAN PECZKIS puts it nicely when he wrote:
In the standard Holocaust supremacist narrative, all the Jews were to be put to death, and this oft-repeated allegation is used to elevate the Holocaust over all other genocides. We are often told that those Jews that did not die in Nazi gas chambers or before firing squads got to die by starvation and overwork in forced labor.
In fact "Mark Spoerer and Jochen Fleischhacker" (2002. POPULATION STUDIES 56(1)5-21) concluded 307 thousand Jewish forced Laborers survived the war. They made an interesting note that all the Jewish laborers got compensated post war as opposed to about half of the Polish Laborers.
Spoerer & Fleischhacker state:
in terms of compensation monies received, is staggering! The 75,000 eligible Jewish forced laborers obtained 28,324 DM (Deutschmarks) per head. By contrast, 36,000 Polish forced laborers only got 15,000 DM per head, while the vast majority of Polish forced laborers (that is 175,000) got a meager 7,889 DM per head.
