The Jaworzno concentration camp was a concentration camp in the Second World War, German-occupied Poland and later in Communist Poland. It was first established by the Nazis in 1943 during WWII and was later used by the Soviet NKVD in 1945 to 1956. After that it was used by the Ministry of Public Security and other agencies of the Polish communist regime. Today the site is an apartment complex and also houses a memorial to the camp's victims. It was established as a Nazi concentration camp called SS-Lager Dachsgrube ("SS Camp Dachsgrube) also known as Arbeitslager Neu-Dachs ("Work Camp Neu-Dachs") during World War II by the Third Reich in the territory of German-occupied Poland in Jaworzno, Lesser Poland.
