Description


Janowska concentration camp

Janowska concentration camp (Polish: Janowska, Russian: Янов or "Yanov") was a Nazi German labor, transit and extermination camp established September 1941 in occupied Poland on the outskirts of Lwów (Poland, today Lviv in Ukraine). The camp was labeled Janowska after the nearby street ulica Janowska in Lwów (later renamed Shevchenka street, Ukrainian: Вулиця Шевченка after the city was annexed into the Ukrainian SSR). The camp was liquidated in November 1943. According to Soviet prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials, Yanov was mainly an extermination camp where up to 200,000 victims perished.
