On September 13, 1944, a satellite camp of the Neuengamme concentration camp was set up in Neugraben on Falkenbergsweg/Neugrabener Heideweg. The camp was home to 500 women, most of whom came from Czechoslovakia. They had been deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp via Theresienstadt. There the SS selected them for work in Hamburg. Their first station in Hamburg was the Dessauer Ufer satellite camp in the free port. They were deployed at the Prien, Weseloh, Gizzi, Holst and Malo companies, among others, to perform hard labor in the production of prefabricated parts and in the construction of makeshift homes in the Falkenberg housing estate. In Harburg they carried out reconditioning work in the oil industry, and in Hausbruch they had to dig tank pits. In February 1945, the SS transferred the women to the Hamburg-Tiefstack satellite camp.
