Stutthof Concentration Camp Gdansk - Poland

Stutthof Concentration Camp

The Stutthof Concentration Camp was created by the Nazis in 1939 in a secluded, wooded area near the Baltic port of Gdansk. It was the first Nazi concentration camp set up outside of Germany in World War II and it was the last camp to be liberated by the Allies in 1945. The camp was used for the imprisonment of Polish leaders and saw up to 65 000 people systematically killed by German occupiers, making it a symbol for the Holocaust. Confronting and emotionally charged, a visit to the camp, that now serves as a memorial, will teach you about one of the most significant parts of the world's history.
