Outstanding questions

• The location is at "Poststrasse" but sources mention the Frankenberger Straße as the location for the camp and "Gottlob-Keller-Straße 2" as the location of the Framo factory where the prisoners were forced to work. Framo-Werke indeed seems to have been at Gottlob-Keller-Straße 2.

I was unable to verify the camp location at this time, more research is needed.
