Gross-Rosen concentration camp, Memorial stone from World War II concentration camp in Bolesławiec, Poland
Gross-Rosen was a large concentration camp with several subcamps spread across the Silesian region. The site in Rogoźnica displays the remains of the structures marked with memorial stones and informational panels that indicate where the former camp stood.
The camp was established in 1940 and operated multiple locations across Silesia until 1945. Thousands of prisoners were forced to work in local industries throughout the war.

The site is accessible year-round and features informational panels in multiple languages. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes as the terrain can be uneven.
Foundation stones remain visible on the grounds showing the original building layouts. These preserved rows of stones help visitors understand the scale and organization of the camp.
