H3 DUBNICA NAD VÁHOM (SK)

Dubnica nad Váhom was the site of one of the largest civil engineering projects in Slovakia: the construction of a gigantic dam on the River Váh. From 1942 to 1944 Roma were used for slave labour there. When all the workers were discharged, the Roma were moved with their families to a detention camp. Many of the 700 inmates of that camp were killed during the final days of the war.
