Summary/Abstract: The text examines the camps in Bulgaria during World War II when the country was an ally of Nazi Germany. The main focus is on two of those places – „Gonda Voda“ and „Saint Nikola“ near Asenovgrad. Many communist activists and other oppositionists were interned there. The conditions in those places weren’t as harsh as concentration camps in Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union for example. All those places were closed after 09.09.1944 – the communist coup in Bulgaria. The subject isn’t very well researched in Bulgarian historiography. The study is based not only on archive documents about those places but on writings of historians like Vera Mutafchieva, Angel Krastev and etc. Interviews with people who were in those camps done in 2012 are very important for the text.
