KL-Natzweiler opened in May 1941. Intended to provide the Reich with slave labour for its industry, it primarily housed political deportees, as well as Jews, gypsies, homosexuals and Jehovah's Witnesses. It also included Jewish deportees, Gypsies, homosexuals and Jehovah's Witnesses. 52,000 deportees passed through this camp (either in the central camp or in one of its 70 external camps).
