Stutthof Museum, Holocaust memorial museum in Sztutowo, Poland.
Stutthof Museum is a memorial site located on the grounds of a former concentration camp near the Baltic coast. The area covers about 20 hectares and contains original barracks, administrative buildings, and other structures from the period of occupation.
The camp was established by Nazi authorities in 1939 and operated until 1945, expanding over the years. After the war, former prisoners decided to transform the site into a museum to preserve what happened there.
The name comes from the nearby village of Stutthof, reflecting the diversity of prisoners held here. Visitors can see personal belongings, letters, and photographs that show how people from many different countries and backgrounds experienced this place.
Plan to spend about two hours walking through the grounds at your own pace. Wear comfortable shoes, as the path takes you across large outdoor areas.
A large concrete sculpture by artist Wiktor Tolkin stands at the entrance, immediately catching your eye. The monument was created as a symbol of remembrance and solidarity with those who died.
