===Subcamps=== {{Further|List of subcamps of Auschwitz}} Several other German industrial enterprises, such as [[Krupp]] and [[Siemens-Schuckert]], built factories with their own subcamps.{{sfn|Steinbacher|2005|p=57}} There were around 28 camps near industrial plants, each camp holding hundreds or thousands of prisoners.{{sfn|Strzelecka|Setkiewicz|2000|pp=103–104}} Designated as ''Aussenlager'' (external camp), ''Nebenlager'' (extension camp), ''Arbeitslager'' (labor camp), or ''Aussenkommando'' (external work detail),<ref>{{harvnb|Strzelecka|Setkiewicz|2000|pp=103, 119}}; {{harvnb|Gutman|1998|p=17}}.</ref> camps were built at [[Blechhammer]], [[Jawiszowice]], [[Central Labour Camp Jaworzno|Jaworzno]], [[Będzin|Lagisze]], [[Mysłowice]], [[Trzebinia]], and as far afield as the [[Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia]] in Czechoslovakia.<ref>{{harvnb|Gutman|1998|p=18}}; {{harvnb|Piper|1998a|p=45}}; {{harvnb|Steinbacher|2005|p=58}}.</ref> Industries with satellite camps included coal mines, foundries and other metal works, and chemical plants. Prisoners were also made to work in forestry and farming.{{sfn|Gutman|1998|pp=17–18}} For example, ''Wirtschaftshof Budy'', in the Polish village of Budy near [[Brzeszcze]], was a farming subcamp where prisoners worked 12-hour days in the fields, tending animals, and making compost by mixing human ashes from the crematoria with sod and manure.<ref>{{harvnb|Strzelecka|Setkiewicz|2000|p=106}}; {{harvnb|Kubica|2009|pp=233–234}}.{{pb}} Also see [http://auschwitz.org/en/museum/news/the-budy-massacre-a-grim-anniversary,23.html "The Budy Massacre—A grim anniversary"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200226171939/http://auschwitz.org/en/museum/news/the-budy-massacre-a-grim-anniversary,23.html |date=26 February 2020 }}.
