Intersection register · custodian, not owner

Vapniarka (now in Vinnytsia Oblast, Ukraine) is known for the eponymous concentration camp, opened in 1942 in Romanian Transnistria, where Romanian antifascist Jews and left-wing activists were interned. The prisoners were deliberately fed Lathyrus sativus (grass pea), causing epidemics of neurolathyrism (paralysis); the interned physicians clandestinely documented these experiments, which became the subject of testimonies and historical studies.
