Syrets concentration camp

Ukraine · built 1942

The Kiev-West (in German sources) or Syrets was a Nazi concentration camp (or arbeitserziehungslager – correctional labour camp) established in 1942 in Kyiv's western neighborhood of Syrets, part of Kyiv since 1799. The toponym was derived from a local small river. Some 327 inmates of the KZ Syrets (among them 100 Jews) were forced to remove all traces of mass murder at Babi Yar.
