dbo:abstract
  • Espeland detention camp (Norwegian: Espeland fangeleir, German: Polizeihäftlingslager Espeland) was an internment camp opened in 1943 by Nazi Germany in occupied Norway next to the village of Espeland in the borough of Arna, Bergen. Built to house prisoners after the closure of the nearby Ulven detention camp, Espeland was soon being used to mitigate overcrowding in Bergen. It functioned as a transit camp, sending many inmates further to Grini detention camp and to camps in mainland Europe. Abuse was common and the total number of people killed during captivity is unknown. Following the surrender of the Nazi regime the previous day, the camp was liberated on 9 May 1945. It was subsequently used by the Norwegians to house post-war prisoners. Since 2000, there has been an effort to convert the camp into an education and archive centre. It is currently run by the Stiftelsen Espeland fangeleir (Espeland Prison Camp Foundation), which, as of 2021, was in the process of being merged with the Norwegian Gestapo Museum. It is among the most well-preserved Nazi concentration camps in the world and in November 2014 the facility was declared a protected monument. (en)
  • Le camp de concentration d'Espeland (Espeland fangeleir) est un camp de concentration créé à Arna en Norvège par les autorités nazies de la Norvège occupée à l'été 1943. Le camp a été en grande partie construit par le travail forcé de prisonniers d'autres camps de concentration près de Bergen. Tous les prisonniers du Ulven ont été transférés dans ce camp qui est rapidement devenu surpeuplé. Certains prisonniers furent ensuite envoyés au Camp de concentration de Grini. Les prisonniers ont été maltraités et souvent brutalisés. Le camp a eu une section séparée pour les forçats enchaînés et des prisonniers qui ont été maintenus en isolement.À la libération du camp en 1945, il y avait 200 prisonniers à Espeland. Après la guerre, il a été utilisé pour les prisonniers ayant eu des liens avec le régime nazi jusqu'en 1952. Aujourd'hui un musée se visite sur le lieu de l'ancien camp. (fr)
  • Il campo di concentramento di Espeland, presso Arna (oggi distretto del comune di Bergen), fu un campo di concentramento, istituito nell'estate del 1943, durante l'occupazione nazista della Norvegia. Costruito con il lavoro degli internati del Campo di concentramento di Ulven, dopo la sua ultimazione tutti gli internati presenti ad Ulven vennero trasferiti a Espeland, che divenne ben presto sovraffolato. Alla sua liberazione, nel 1945, vi erano ancora 200 prigionieri. (it)
