The gate of the Yanivsky concentration camp for Jews on the northeastern outskirts of Lviv. Already in July 1941, at 134 Yanivska Street (now T. Shevchenko Street), on the territory of the former Steinhaus machine-building factory, the Germans opened repair workshops for military equipment, on the basis of which, on an area of almost 3,000 square meters, at the end of 1941, a “forced labor camp for Jewish workers” was created, from which free exit was prohibited. From 1942, the camp became a transit camp, from where Jews were sent to their deaths in Bełżec, many of them shot near the camp in the so-called “Valley of Death.” In 1942-1943, the camp was filled with thousands of Jews, residents of the liquidated Lviv ghetto. The Yaniv camp ceased to exist in June 1944. During two and a half years of its “operation,” more than 200,000 Jews were killed here. Of the 135,000-strong Jewish community of Lviv, only about 800 people survived.
