Sopot: Tour to Stutthof Concentration Camp

Your tour begins with a drive from Sopot to Stutthof, located approximately 40 km east of Gdansk. Built by the Nazis in 1939, Stutthof was initially intended for Polish political prisoners but later expanded into an extermination camp, imprisoning people from over 25 different nationalities. By the time of its liberation in 1945, over 110,000 people had been held here, with nearly 65,000 victims perishing due to brutal conditions, forced labor, executions, and gas chambers.

Upon arrival, you will be guided through the original camp area, where you will see the prisoner barracks, watchtowers, and the gas chamber. Your guide will provide historical context, explaining the harsh realities of life in the camp, the inhumane treatment of prisoners, and the horrific medical experiments conducted on them.

The tour continues to the crematorium, where thousands of victims were tragically burned, and the monument to the victims, a place for reflection and remembrance. You will also visit the museum, which houses personal belongings, photographs, and documents that tell the stories of those who suffered in the camp.

Throughout the visit, your guide will share testimonies from survivors, offering a deeply moving perspective on the atrocities committed here. The experience serves as an important reminder of the past and the need to preserve history to prevent such tragedies from happening again.

Before leaving, you will have time to reflect and pay your respects at the memorial site, honoring the lives lost during this tragic period in history.
