where prisoners were tortured, being deprived of food, light, and under temperatures between 50 and 60 degrees. The "Frying Pan" was responsible for the death of 30 prisoners, and the sickness of dozens of others. The current museum states prisoners accumulatively spent 2824 days in the "Frigideira". In the second phase, which reopened the camp on April 14, 1961, it began to hold militants from the national liberation struggles of the Portuguese colonial war in Angola, Guinea-Bissau, and Cape Verde. 106 Angolans, 100 Guineans, and 20 Cape Verdeans went through Tarrafal. Replacing the "Frigideira", the "Holandinha" was opened, with almost the same objective, being "a little taller than a man standing, a little longer than a man lying down, a little wider than a man sitting down, with a small barred window" and "a real oven". One Angolan and two Guinean political prisoners died in this camp. Following the Carnation Revolution in 1974, together with the end of the Estado Novo dictatorship, the camp was closed one week later.

In honor of the anti-fascist struggle and resistance in Cape Verde, October 29 was consecrated as "Antifascist Resistance Day".

The official name of the camp was "Cape Verde Penal Colony" () in the first phase, and "Chão Bom Labor Camp" () in the second one. It was also referred to as the "Village of Death", the "Swamp of Death", and as the "Yellow Inferno”. History Foundation The Tarrafal Concentration Camp was established in 1936 by Decree 26:539 of April 23, 1936, in the context of Estado Novo's reorganization of the prison system, with the purpose of incarcerating political and social prisoners. The location was chosen strategically, both because it was optimal so that testimonies would not come to public attention, and because it had an unhealthy climate, with little drinkable water, and many mosquitoes in rainy seasons, which facilitated the appearance of diseases and from which many prisoners died. The construction was the
