HKP 562 forced labor camp, Nazi labor camp in Vilnius, Lithuania
The HKP 562 camp occupied apartment buildings at 47 and 49 Subačiaus Street, serving as a German military vehicle repair facility during World War II.
Between September 1943 and July 1944, the camp housed 1,234 Jewish prisoners under Wehrmacht engineering unit command, while officially administered by the SS.
Major Karl Plagge and several German officers provided protection to Jewish workers, implementing measures that allowed families to stay together within the camp.
The camp buildings contained mechanical workshops where prisoners repaired military vehicles, with additional spaces converted into living quarters for the detained families.
This camp witnessed the survival of 250 Jewish individuals, marking the largest single group of Holocaust survivors in Vilnius.
