H10 LETY U PÍSKU (CZ)

The “Gypsy” camp at Lety u Písku in Bohemia, now in the Czech Republic, was built in 1940 as a prison and labour camp for “anti-social elements”. It was designed to hold 600 prisoners, but after it became a “Gypsy” camp in August 1942 it held 1,392 men, women and children; 326 of them died there. Most of the inmates were deported to Auschwitz in 1943 and 1944.
