Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash: Gross-Rosen was initially a satellite of Sachsenhausen, but eventually became its own system with almost 10 sub-camps located in Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Poland. Many German companies benefited from the slave labor employed here, including Krupp, I.G. Farben, and Daimler-Benz.
