It opened in 1939 following the invasion of Poland, and first housed polish prisoners-of-war, however, British, French, Australian, American, and Soviet POWs were also housed there. During its operation over 3000 prisoners died due to typhus and tuberculosis. The camp was liberated by the Soviets in April 1945, and then housed German prisoners of war. Between 1945 and 1948, when the camp was liquidated, over 6000 German prisoners-of-war had perished.
