The Jungfernhof Concentration Camp Timeline

The Jungfernhof concentration camp remains an unmarked site without a history. The Locker of Memory project is primarily a story telling project about 3985 German and Austrian Jewish prisoners held captive at a remote site without a means of escape.

For many descendants and historians, the prevailing question concerns the sequence of events leading to the murder of 3836 victims. The Locker of Memory project is dedicated to telling that story through careful documentation of the history.

The Jungfernhof timeline is perhaps, the most significant timeline of this project, detailing four cruel years of imprisonment, murder, torture, and starvation. In a month-by-month timeline of events, we can begin to see what happened at this site over a period of four years. The Jungfernhof timeline also captures the unusual presence of community that also developed at the site under horrific living conditions.

The timeline is presented here as a naked series of facts, unembellished.
