Türkheimi camp was one of fifteen "Kaufering" camps - small labor camps where Jews were employed in building underground factories. To hide the camps from the air, the prisoners were residing in pits with improvised roofs, with no light or heating, and were forced to work in extremely hard conditions. With the approach of the American army, the Germans started to destroy the camps, evacuate the prisoners and eliminate most of the evidence of their deeds.
