Jüdisches Umschulungs- und Einsatzlager am Grünen Weg in Paderborn. „This camp was founded at the end of June 1939 as a so-called Hachsharah kibbutz. In a contract between the „Reich Association of German Jews“ and the city of Paderborn, the plot of land on Grünen Weg „was made available free of charge so that young Jews could be trained in the course of Jewish self-help;dian self-help, young Jews could be trained for physical, mainly agricultural and horticultural work in preparation for their emigration“. The Hachsharah kibbutz was under the control of the German national association of Hechaluz.“[73] The camp existed until 1943[74]
„The retraining camp ‚Grüner Weg‘ was converted into a so-called ‚Ersatzlager‘, a labor camp for one hundred people, in June 1941.After its dissolution, many trainees from the Ellguth-Steinau estate (see Silesia), which was dissolved in 1940/41, were sent here, often with fatal consequences, as the routes leading from Ellguth to Paderborn [ended] mostly in concentration and extermination camps“.[76]
