SubcampIda-Virumaa1943–1944

Putki was a Nazi German concentration-camp subcamp in Ida-Viru County, part of the Vaivara system (1943–1944).

Forced labour and fate

Most of the prisoners were Jews brought from the Vilna and Kovno ghettos; they were forced to work in forced labour. Putki lay about 20 km south of Vaivara. In 1944 the camp was liquidated together with the whole Vaivara system; survivors were taken to the Stutthof concentration camp or killed.
