Kauen (German: Konzentrationslager (KZ) Kauen, Lithuanian: Kauno koncentracijos stovykla) was a Nazi Germany concentration camp located in the former Kovno Ghetto, modern day Lithuania. It operated from 15 September 1943 to 14 July 1944 and had seventeen satellite camps located around the city of Kaunas, in modern-day Lithuania. Most prisoners were Jews who had survived the previous years of the Holocaust in Lithuania. In July 1944, eight of the subcamps were closed. The main camp was liberated by the Red Army on 1 August 1944.
