Radogoszcz was used as a Nazi Police Prison from November 1939 . It was used to house prisoners for the many German groups such as the Gestapo , SS , and newly formed local Police . The first murders of Radogoszcz prisoners took place soon after it was opened , when Polish intelligentsia ( who had been arrested earlier ) were taken from the prison and murdered in local woods , probably as part of the Intelligenzaktion ( see Intelligenzaktion Litzmannstadt and Intelligenzaktion Burgerbraukeller ) . This took place in November 1939 . As the factory was never intended for habitation , a local charity was formed to build simple kitchens and baths . The charity was prevented from aiding the prisoners after January 1940 . A number of prominent Polish-German factory owners were on this committee
