Forestry
The forestry detachment at Miedzyrzecze probably operated from October 1942 to April 1943 and numbered between twenty and a hundred prisoners. All of these figures remain estimates.
The employer was, as in the other forestry detachments of the region, the forestry board at Pszczyna.
The state of preservation is unknown. It has not been possible to establish the exact location of the camp.
As far as is known, the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum has not carried out a site inspection here. We publish this record in spite of the gaps, because leaving Miedzyrzecze out would mean erasing it from the register.
Archival photographs of this place
Photographs and documents from the time the camp existed are held and made available by the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Oświęcim.
