'''Zasław concentration camp''' (in {{lang-de|Zwangsarbeitslager Zaslaw}}) was a World War II [[Nazi German]] [[Nazi concentration camps|concentration camp]], established for [[Jewish ghettos in German-occupied Poland|ghettoised Jews]] in [[Occupation of Poland (1939–1945)|occupied Poland]] near the village of Zasław (now part of [[Zagórz]] in [[Poland]]), {{convert|6.7|km}} south-east of the industrial city of [[Sanok]] which belonged to the [[Lwów Voivodeship]] of the [[Second Polish Republic]] before [[Invasion of Poland|the invasion]]. Sanok had one of the largest Jewish population in the region.<ref name="VS">{{cite web |url=http://www.sztetl.org.pl/en/article/zaslaw/13,places-of-martyrology/13807,the-labour-camp-in-zaslaw/ |title=The labour camp in Zasław |publisher=Museum of the History of Polish Jews |work=Places of martyrology |year=2013 |access-date=25 December 2013 |author=[[Virtual Shtetl]]}}</ref>
==Operation==
Zaslaw was a ''work camp'' where Jews from [[Sanok]] were deported.<ref><small>"In August 1939, 5,400 Jews lived in Sanok. Similarly as in other parts of Poland, also in Sanok the Jews were persecuted, had their property confiscated, were forced to work and systematically murdered. The murders took place at „Glinki” cemetery in Sanok. Many Sanok Jews died of emaciation while working for Kirchhof company, which was wound up in 1942, with the employees transferred to Zasław camp. A tailoring, shoemaking and fur-making workshop were set up in the camp. Many Jews also worked building or repairing roads. By the end of 1943 the camp was liquidated. A thousand Jews were murdered in Zasław, with 5,000 more taken to Bełżec camp. The murdering of the Jews in Sanok took place at locations situated on the outskirts of the town, in the woods, so the victims could immediately be buried. The annihilation of Sanok Jews took place gradually rather than through a single act. '''Mass Killings of Jews in the Polish Town of Sanok during the World War II'''. Publication: Jewish History Quarterly (04/2005) Author: Małgorzata Stawiarska<small></ref> On January 15, 1943, the prisoners of Zaslaw were transported to the [[Belzec extermination camp]], where they were killed. ▼
