Description

Stutthof was the first Nazi concentration camp established on Polish territory and remained operational longer than any other. It was created in 1939 and was initially intended to hold around 3,000 prisoners, primarily targeting the Jewish population and the Polish intelligentsia from the Pomeranian region and the Free City of Gdańsk.

Over time, the camp became a site of unimaginable suffering for more than 110,000 people from 26 countries. Many of them were subjected to forced labor, starvation, torture, and mass executions, including in gas chambers.

Today, the Stutthof concentration camp is open to visitors as a museum and place of reflection. Due to the graphic and emotionally intense nature of the exhibition, it is recommended only for individuals aged 13 and above. The trip lasts approximately five hours and includes an entrance ticket to the Stutthof Museum, a guided tour of the historical camp grounds, including the old and new camp quarters, the commander’s villa, the gas chamber, crematorium, and the monument to the victims, and, optionally, a screening of a documentary film about the camp’s history.
