According to a Wikipedia entry on this camp, it was established towards the end of the war and consisted of two sub-camps, one for men, the other for women. The camps accommodated more than 1000 prisoners, including 500 Jewish women and girls from Poland and Hungary who had been transported there from Dachau, Bergen-Belsen and Ravensbruck. They were forced to work in miserable conditions in an aircraft hanger in Scheppach Forest. 18 prisoners died and were later buried in the Jewish cemetery in Ichenhausen. This Wikipedia information is referenced to a publication entitled "Memorials to the victims of National Socialism: A documentary, Volume 1", published by the Federal Agency for Civic Education, Bonn, 1995.

 

 

 

The book Prison on Wheels: From Ravensbruck to Burgau by Eva Langley-Danos documents the authors journey in 1945 during her transportation to this camp.  Langley-Danos was born and educated in Budapest, Hungary, but was deported to Germany during the war. She survived and later emigrated to Australia, finally passing away in 2001.
