During the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany, the Nazi authorities established a concentration camp in the town of Bardufoss in Northern Norway, as an annex to Grini. It opened in March of 1944 to alleviate overflowing in other camps, particularly Grini and Falstad concentration camp. Situated in a cold climate, it was notorious for its hard work regime, sparse rations, and inadequate shelter. It is estimated that some 800 prisoners passed through the camp, and when liberated about 550 were incarcerated.
