Dubnica nad Váhom

A town in the Trenčín region of Slovakia. The local munitions factory helped arm the German army during the war. Between 1942 and 1944, a labour camp operated in Dubnica, where Roma were also interned. In November 1944, it became a camp only for Roma, where Roma with their entire families were imprisoned. Its capacity of 300 people was more than doubled. It served primarily as a collection point, and Roma were deported from there to other camps. As a result of the poor camp conditions, epidemic typhus broke out. On 23 February 1945, 26 sick male and female prisoners were executed near the camp.
