The camp was not built for the sole purpose of imprisoning jews,but was also made for prisoners. Since the camp was built near a granite quarry they had the prisoners mine for granite. The prisoners were even froced to make military arms and aircraft parts.
Most of the prisoners were sent to a bunker. The bunker was a dark underground room where they would provide no food. Alot of the inmates also died of starvation.
