Vaivara concentration camp

Vaivara was the centre of a large concentration camp-complex consisting of 22 concentration and labor camps established in occupied Estonia by the Nazi regime during World War II. Vaivara lies 30 km west of Narva close to the Russian border. Some 20,000 Jewish prisoners passed through its gates. Around 9,000 Jews were transported there from the Vilna and from the Kaunas and Kovno Ghettos. Various groups of Jewish prisoners were 'transported' to Vaivara and its surrounding workcamps from Latvia, Poland and Hungary. German and Czech Jews from the Theresienstadt concentration camp also arrived there. Vaivara was one of the last concentration camps established. It existed from August 1943 to February 1944.
