Death | Leitmeritz (Litoměřice) was a town annexed from Czechoslovakia during the annexation of the Sudetenland in 1938 to the German Reich. It was one of the largest slave labour camps of the Flossenbürg Concentration Camp. It was constructed only from the spring of 1944 in the underground caverns of a limestone quarry to house two factories known as Richard I and II. Richard I was for Auto-Union, known as Audi after WWII, an armaments company that built the Maybach HL 230 engines for the Panzer battle Tanks - Tiger I & II and , Panther. Richard II housed a wire factory for the Osram lighting factory which used female prisoners.
In March 1944 the first prisoners arrived in Leitmeritz: 500 political prisoners and foreign forced laborers from Dachau concentration camp, who firstly built barracks (these still exist). Soon, the camps housed 4300 man in overcrowded conditions raised to 9000 in April 1945. A total of 18,000 prisoners passed through the camp, 4000 of them Jews. Most of the prisoners came from Poland (9,000), many of them arrested in the wake of the Warsaw Uprising. Beacuase of the terrible conditions, 4500 prisoners died at Leitmeritz, for which a special crematorium was built to dispose of their bodies. It still survives.
In the last days of April 1945 the camp was dismantled, the surviving Jews sent to the nearby concentration camp at Theresienstadt.
Shabtai and Eliyahi Kemelgor as listed as inmates sent to the Leitmeritz Slave Labour Camp, propbably from Dachau. Both died at the camp in February 1945.
