A former concentration camp in Europe isbeing turned into a luxury beach resort.
Mamula Island located in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Montenegro, reportedly held about 2,300 prisoners during World War II.
That's a stark contrast to the pools, yacht marina, spas and dance floors that are planned for the location now.
The decision to transform the island into a vacation spot has drawn some criticism, but the government of Montenegro defended its decision, saying the resort will be a boost to the economy.
The property was leased for $1.64 per square meter. The developer says it plans to invest $16.4 million into the project.
