Ich hatte keine Ahnung, dass es auf Zypern immer noch Konzentrationslager gibt. Dieses in Polemi erlaubt Besuche: https://youtube.com/shorts/76LK2I5sQmQ
Irgendeine Ahnung, ob noch andere in der Nähe sind? Ich interessiere mich für die Geschichte davon.

I’m by no means an expert on this, but I think there were 2 episodes of concentration camp in Cyprus, both run by the British.
This one in your video is from the 1950s, the British used it sadly to detain Cypriot EOKA members and their sympathisers. Pyla also had one.
And a decade or so earlier the British were detaining Jewish refugees trying to migrate to Palestine in camps in Cyprus. Around 400 reportedly died due to the poor conditions.
There is also another one in Kokkinotrimithia.
I’m travelling to Cyprus in July. Thanks for your post, I also found this: [https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/cyprus-detention-camps](https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/cyprus-detention-camps)
