Klooga concentration camp
Klooga concentration camp was a Nazi labour camp in north-western Estonia, a subcamp of Vaivara, which operated from 1943 to 1944. It held mainly Jewish prisoners deported from the ghettos of Vilnius and elsewhere. On 19 September 1944, as the Red Army approached, the SS shot and burned about 2,000 prisoners, one of the largest massacres of the Holocaust in Estonia.
