Go on a full-day excursion to the Stutthof Concentration Camp outside of Gdansk on a trip that will expose you to the stories of the people living here during the Nazi occupation of Poland in World War II.
Located only 25 miles (40 kilometers) from Gdansk, Stutthof was the first concentration camp in Poland, built by Nazis in 1939, and the last one to be freed in 1945 by the Soviet Army. It was located in a secluded, wet, and wooded area west of the small town of Sztutowo (German: Stutthof).
During this period, 85,000 people were victims of genocide out of as many as 110,000 people deported there. A visit to the camp is a chance to see and learn about the gas chamber, crematorium, prisoner barracks, and the guard’s tower that are reminders of this horrific time.
