    "The painful history of the Lety concentration camp in south west Bohemia has been slowly returning to the Czech public consciousness in recent years, despite the notorious construction of a still-functioning pig farm on a large part of the former site during the 1970s.
    Now a team of archaeologists from the University of West Bohemia has completed a months-long study of the former camp, focused on an area of public land just outside the privately-owned pig farm. The study, say the archaeologists, has confirmed that the foundations of the former concentration camp still exit and has allowed them to determine the precise layout of some of the camp’s buildings. They also say they have uncovered a number of artefacts belonging to former inmates."
