Poland and Communist Poland
From 1934-39 Poland established a camp for the internment of political opponents, Ukrainian nationalists and Communists in Bereza Kartuzka (now in Belarus).
- Bereza Kartuska Detention Camp
During World War II Nazi Germany established many of its concentration camps in Poland. After World War 2 Soviet Army and Communist Poland used some of the former German concentration camps as POW camps and later as internment camps where Polish opponents of the communists and Soviets, as well as Ukrainians and ethnic Germans or their sympathizers, were imprisoned.
- Central Labour Camp Potulice
- Central Labour Camp Jaworzno
- Zgoda labour camp
- Łambinowice
Attempts were later made to bring two of the camp commandants to justice; Salomon Morel and Czesław Gęborski.
