A Nazi Germany Concentration camp near Krakow. It is also featured in the movie Schindler's List. The camp in the village of Płaszów was founded in December 1941 in the southern suburbs of Kraków, Poland. Commanding the camp was Amon Göth, a sadistic SS commandant. The camp was known as a slave labor camp, supplying manpower to several armaments factories and a stone quarry. Płaszów camp became particularly infamous for both individual and mass shootings carried out there. In January 1945, the last of the remaining inmates and camp staff left the camp on a death march to Auschwitz. When the Nazis knew that the Russians were coming towards Kraków, they completely dismantled the camp, leaving an empty field.
