Mass shootings and deportations to concentration camps did not relieve the prisons in the face of the increasing repression of the occupier. The prison in Mysłowice was investigative and distributive.On average, prisoners stayed there for up to 3 months. At that time, the investigation was over and the Gestapo made a decision on the type of punishment; most often men were sent to concentration camps in Oświęcim, Gross-Rosen, Mauthausen, and women to the camp in Ravensbrück.Set of postcard from prison Myslowice and foldede letter from KL Auschwitz.
