The camp in Sławięcice was the largest camp in the Opole and Katowice regions. The number of Jewish prisoners reached 4,000. Today, turrets, remnants of a fence, a crematorium and a bunker have remained of the former forced labor camp, all overgrown with forest. Few people know when passing that way that there is a place of death of a huge number of people in the forest right next to it.
