SexViolHist Bib: Types: Sexual Violence during the Holocaust: Filtration Camps

»NKVD screening and filtration camps (Russian: Проверочно-фильтрационные лагеря НКВД СССР), originally known as NKVD special-purpose camps / NKVD special camps (Russian: лагеря специального назначения НКВД СССР, спецлагеря НКВД), were camps for the screening of the Soviet soldiers returned from enemy occupied territories, enemy imprisonment, or enemy encirclement. There was concern among Soviet leaders that citizens that had been outside the supervision of the government and security services may need screening to ensure their political loyalty.
By the end of World War II they handled screening of all people from the Soviet territories occupied by Nazi Germany.« (Extract from: Wikipedia)
