Revision as of 11:45, 25 September 2010
Jägala concentration camp was a Nazi concentration camp near the village of Jägala, Estonia. It was established in 1942 and was commanded by Aleksander Laak, an Estonian.
Based upon an old army barracks at Jägala, the site was turned into a camp with the addition of some barbed wire fencing. Jägala was officially a "labour education camp" or "Arbeits und Erziehungslager" for forced forestry and field workers. The camp housed Jews deported to Estonia from other countries, including Lithuania, Czechoslovakia, Germany and Poland. About 3,000 Jews who were not selected for work at their arrival at Raasiku railway station were taken driectly from the station and shot at the near-by Kalevi-Liiva extermination site.
The camp never held more than 200 prisoners and had a short life span of several months. In November 1942 it was reported that the camp held 53 men and 150 women. Most of the prisoners were progressively transported to Tallinn Central Prison starting with about half of the prisoners moved in December 1942 and many more in June and July. By August 1943 the camp was closed when most of the remaining inmates were shot. Several diseased prisoners were shot at the Jägala camp while about 15 hospitalised prisoners were sent to Kalevi-Liiva to be executed, Laak also killed three women, one of them his sex slave; the camp was then dismantled by September 1943.
The estimates for the number of killed at Jägala concentration camp vary. Soviet investigators concluded that 2,000-3,000 were killed in Jägala and Kalevi-Liiva taken together, but the number 5,000 (as determined by the Extraordinary State Commission in 1944) was written into the verdict.
In modern sources, the number 10,000 occurs. However, Estonian International Commission for Investigation of Crimes Against Humanity and estimates of scholars place the number of total Jewish victims in Estonia during 1941-1944 around 8,500.
