Arbeitslager
Arbeitslager (ˈʔaʁbaɪtsˌlaːɡɐ) is a German language word which means labor camp. Under Nazism, the German government (and its private-sector, Axis, and collaborator partners) used forced labor extensively, starting in the 1930s but most especially during World War II. Another term was Zwangsarbeitslager ("forced labor camp"). The Nazis operated several categories of Arbeitslager for different categories of inmates.
Gas van
A gas van or gas wagon (душегубка, dushegubka, literally "soul killer"; Gaswagen) was a truck reequipped as a mobile gas chamber. During World War II and the Holocaust, Nazi Germany developed and used gas vans on a large scale as an extermination method to murder inmates of asylums, Poles, Romani people, Jews, and prisoners in occupied Poland, Belarus, Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union, and other regions of German-occupied Europe. One case of usage of gas van by Soviet NKVD during the Great Purge was documented.
