Alderney is the northernmost of the UK’s inhabited Channel Islands. Nazi camps on Alderney were built and operated by Germany during its World War II occupation of the Channel Islands. Alderney island had four forced/slave labor sites, including Lager Sylt, the only Nazi concentration camp on British soil during war. The four camps had a total inmate population that fluctuated but is estimated at about 6,000. (The exact details are impossible to determine as many records were destroyed.) In 2022, new studies indicated that as many as nine camps were built at Alderney.

Quote: “For decades, official accounts have said that less than 400 of the 4,000 slave laborers shipped to the island — and among them, only a handful of Jews — perished. But, prompted by suggestions from journalists, historians and military experts that the death toll may have run into the thousands, Britain’s Holocaust envoy last week announced an expert review of evidence into the number of prisoners who died on Alderney during the Nazi occupation.”
