  "summary": "A business park is being built on part of a former Nazi concentration camp site in Austria, sparking anger and calls to preserve the remaining ruins. The site, known as Weinberglager, was used for thousands of prisoners of war and forced labourers after Nazi Germany annexed Austria in 1938. It also included the Hirtenberg subcamp of the Mauthausen concentration camp, where around 400 women, mainly from the Soviet Union, Italy, and Poland, were imprisoned and forced to manufacture infantry munitions.\n\nThe business park will include a cold storage warehouse and a branch of the discount supermarket chain Lidl. According to Erich Strobl, head of a local campaign to preserve part of the site, the development has prompted a \"sad feeling\" because a historically significant site is being built over and sacrificed for economic gain.\n\nThe Hirtenberg subcamp operated between September 1944 and April 1945, and some factory ruins still exist, according to Malay Mail.",
