The Potulice concentration camp (German: UWZ Lager Lebrechtsdorf– Potulitz) was established during World War II by Nazi Germany on the territory of occupied Poland in Potulice near Nakło. The total of 25,000 prisoners went through the camp during its operation, before the end of 1944. It was also notable as a detention centre for Polish children that underwent the Nazi experiment in forced Germanisation.

Famous quotes containing the word camp:
“When the weather is bad as it was yesterday, everybody, almost everybody, feels cross and gloomy. Our thin linen tents—about like a fish seine, the deep mud, the irregular mails, the never to-be-seen paymasters, and “the rest of mankind,” are growled about in “old-soldier” style. But a fine day like today has turned out brightens and cheers us all. We people in camp are merely big children, wayward and changeable.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
