Natzweiler-Struthof: was a German concentration camp located in the Vosges Mountains close to the Alsatian village of Natzwiller (German Natzweiler) in France and the town of Schirmeck about 50 km south west from the city of Strasbourg.

Natzweiler-Struthof was the only concentration camp established by the Nazis to be on French territory during that period, although there were French-run temporary camps such as the one at Drancy. At the time, the Alsace-Lorraine area in which it was established was administered by Germany as an integral part of the German Reich.

The writer Boris Pahor was interned in Natzweiler-Struthof and wrote his novel Necropolis based on this experiences there.

Natzweiler-Struthof was operational between 21 May 1941 until the beginning of September 1944 when the SS evacuated the camp into Dachau. Its construction was overseen by Hans Hüttig. The camp was evacuated and sent on a "Death march" on early September 1944 with only a small SS unit keeping the camp's operations and on 23 November 1944, discovered and liberated by American Allies as the first concentration camp in Western Europe. Its system of subcamps is listed in List of subcamps of Natzweiler-Struthof.

The total number of prisoners reached an estimated 52,000 over the three years originating from various countries including Poland, the Soviet Union, the Netherlands, France, Germany and Norway. The camp was specially set up for Nacht und Nebel prisoners, in most cases people of the resistance movements. The camp also held a crematorium and a gerry-rigged gas chamber outside the main camp, which was not used for mass extermination. Josef Kramer, a former commandant of the camp was executed for his crimes, including the murder of Jews in the gas chamber there.

Strenuous work, medical experiments, poor nutrition and mistreatment by the SS guards resulted in a documented 4,431 deaths. Among those who died here were four female SOE agents executed together on 6 July 1944:

The systematic looting of Jewish assets and property:

In the summer of 1941, Jews were barred from public places in Holland, including transportation, parks, swimming pools, theatres, museums and Jewish children were barred from Dutch schools. In effect, from having any close contact with their non-Jewish countrymen. These isolating restrictions coincided with the first in a long series of heavy-handed confiscations of Jewish property. The first gang of thugs to descend on the Netherlands was the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg - the Rosenberg Special Operations Staff, named after the Nazi Party ideological chief Alfred Rosenberg, to whom the Fuhrer had given a free hand to steal whatever he deemed necessary to promote the Nazi cause. In the Netherlands, this began with choice Jewish libraries, both public and private. Among the prizes plundered: the famed Rosenthal Collection of precious books.

As they did elsewhere, the Nazis soon turned their attentions to art and the noteworthy collections belonging to wealthier members of the Dutch-Jewish community. Hermann Goring himself made more than one trip to Amsterdam to visit the best dealers and collections and make his choices. Some of the art was legally purchased, mostly under duress and/or at bargain prices. But other works were simply confiscated, packed, and transported to Germany. Later, Rosenberg's gang turned its attention to more mundane but no less lucrative prey: the household furniture and other belongings of Jews deported to the death camps. Dubbed "Aktion M''(for Moebel or furniture), it was an operation of staggering proportions. No sooner had a family been arrested and deported than one of a fleet of German-made trucks belonging to the Amsterdam-based notorious Puls moving company would arrive and empty the apartment - that was, according to the testimony of one Dutch Holocaust survivor, "if neighbours hadn't gotten there first.'' According to Michman, "in a single year, 17,235 apartments were emptied of their contents, and loads totalling 16,941,249 cubic feet were crated and sent to Germany or to Eastern Europe to be divided among the ethnic German population being settled there. First, said Hague-born period scholar and Holocaust survivor Isaac Lipchits, "they took away our radios, then our bikes, our cars, our savings, our art, our furniture. Before we were deported, they even took our backpacks and wedding rings. And at Auschwitz they finally took the gold from our teeth. It was a demonic system.''

To organize and centralize this massive plunder, the Nazis established a highly specialized banking institution with main offices near the Amstel river just around the corner from the elegant Amstel Hotel. To "reassure'' the Jews, they cynically named the depository "The Lippmann-Rosenthal & Co. Bank,'' the same name as that of a midsize, pre-war Dutch-Jewish bank of impeccable reputation. In point of fact, the four-story redbrick building at 13 Sarphatistraat - which soon came to be popularly known as "Liro'' - no longer had anything to do with the original bank or its Jewish founders. It had been seized from its Jewish owners in 1940 and given to a Nazi sympathizer as a prize for his loyalties to the Reich. To start the financial ball rolling, the Nazis first ordered all other Dutch banks to immediately transfer "known Jewish accounts'' to the Liro. They followed in August 1941 by issuing Verordnung (Decree) 148/41, which blocked all Jewish-owned bank accounts and instructed all Dutch Jews not only to transfer their accounts and securities from other Dutch banks to the Liro, but to deposit all cash holdings and cheques of more than 1,000 guilders as well. The massive proceeds thus assembled were then to be turned over to the Vermoogensverwaltungs-und Rentenanstalt (Office of Property Administration and Pensions). It was this central German institute that administered the Liro's loot. Jews were subsequently ordered to turn in gold and silver, jewellery, bonds, and insurance policies. Again Lippmann-Rosenthal was the central repository. By this time, the Nazis' Amsterdam bank was staffed with more than eighty Dutch employees, all drawn from respectable Dutch banks and other Netherlands financial institutions.

At first Jewish depositors were told they would be allowed to withdraw up to 250 guilders per month per family of their own money from their Liro accounts, but this Nazi magnanimity soon ended. The Liro, becme a bank where people could deposit, but not withdraw.''

Mauthausen Concentration Camp:

Mauthausen Concentration Camp grew to become a large group of German concentration camps that was built around the villages of Mauthausen and Gusen in Upper Austria, roughly 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of the city of Linz. Its history ran from the time of the Anschluss in 1938 to the last week of the Second World War.

Initially a single camp at Mauthausen, it expanded over time and by the summer of 1940, Mauthausen had become one of the largest labour camp complexes in German-controlled Europe. Apart from the four main sub-camps at Mauthausen and nearby Gusen, more than 50 sub-camps, located throughout Austria and southern Germany, used the inmates as slave labour. Several subordinate camps of the KZ Mauthausen complex included quarries, munitions factories, mines, arms factories and Me 262 fighter-plane assembly plants

In January 1945, the camps, directed from the central office in Mauthausen, contained roughly 85,000 inmates. The death toll remains unknown, although most sources place it between 122,766 and 320,000 for the entire complex. The camps formed one of the first massive concentration camp complexes in Nazi Germany, and were the last ones to be liberated by the Allies. The two main camps, Mauthausen and Gusen I, were labelled as "Grade III" (Stufe III) camps, which meant that they were intended to be the toughest camps for the "Incorrigible Political Enemies of the Reich". Mauthausen never lost this Stufe III classification. In the offices of the RSHA (Reichssicherheitshauptamt) it was referred to by the nickname Knochenmühle—the bone-grinder. Unlike many other concentration camps, which were intended for all categories of prisoners, Mauthausen was mostly used for extermination through labour of the intelligentsia, who were educated people and members of the higher social classes in countries subjugated by the Nazi regime during World War II
