Background
Karolewo internment camp (German: Internierungslager Karlshof) was a makeshift concentration camp for residents of Krajna, established by the German Volksdeutscher Selbstschutz on the estate of Karlshof (now Karolewo) near Vandsburg (now Więcbork). It operated from mid-September to mid-December 1939. The internment camp in Karolewo held residents of modern Sępólno County and neighboring counties, arrested in the first months of the German occupation as part of the so-called Intelligenzaktion Pommern. In the camp, they were starved, forced into exhausting labor, and subjected to inhumane treatment. The Internierungslager Karlshof was primarily created for the clandestine liquidation of prisoners – most of the detained Poles were executed in nearby forests.
