The Sliven concentration camp, established in 1915 in Bulgaria, was one of the harshest camps for Serbian prisoners of war and civilians during the First World War. Tens of thousands of Serbs, forcibly taken from occupied territories, passed through this camp. Due to extremely poor conditions, disease, and hunger, the mortality rate was exceptionally high, making the camp one of the most dreadful places of suffering for the Serbian people during that period.
