Lagedi concentration camp

Lagedi was a Nazi German concentration camp in Harju County, part of the Vaivara system (July–September 1944). Lagedi was a small transit camp for prisoners awaiting evacuation by sea — and, because of the mass killing of September 1944, one of the system's bloodiest sites.

The mass killing (18 September 1944)

As the Red Army approached, hundreds of Jews were murdered at Lagedi on 18 September 1944 — estimates range around 426–440 — shot in the back of the neck and their bodies burned on pyres. The next day the same kind of massacre began at Klooga.
