Summary/Abstract: Vapniarka is probably the best known camp operational in Transnistria under Romanian authority, being often recorded in connection with either its communist inmates, or the spastic paralysis epidemic that broke out in the early winter of 1943. The present study aims to present the complex history of the camp, with its different stages and different categories of inmates. A special attention will be given to the internal organization of the camp, the official structures, and its parallel developments.
