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 words concentration camp and/or camp:
“We have our difficulties, true; but we are a wiser and a tougher nation than we were in 1932. Never have there been six years of such far flung internal preparedness in all of history. And this has been done without any dictator’s power to command, without conscription of labor or confiscation of capital, without concentration camps and without a scratch on freedom of speech, freedom of the press or the rest of the Bill of Rights.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Some of the taverns on this road, which were particularly dirty, were plainly in a transition state from the camp to the house.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
