C9 Labour Camps

A deportation programme began immediately after the “Anschluss”, Austria’s annexation by the German Reich in 1938. Thousands of Austrian Roma and Sinti were deprived of their civil rights and deported, either to concentration camps in Germany or to forced labour camps near major public building projects such as dams, motorways or power plants. This document from the municipality of Spitzzicken/Hrvatski Cikljin in Burgenland lists 19 local Roma and the camps where they were taken.
