Kamianytsia to the Danube barracks, Bratislava, March 1939

Kamenica nad Cirochou → Danube barracks, Bratislava

The camp at Kamianytsia was short-lived. After about a week the Slovaks moved the whole body to Bratislava and quartered it in the Danube barracks, where within a fortnight the first four labour transports to Germany were formed and the students of the Svaliava State Commercial Academy left for a separate hostel. No source consulted says whether the men were moved because of the Hungarian attack on eastern Slovakia or on an administrative timetable decided earlier.
