This tour visits the Memorial and Museum at the former Stutthof Concentration Camp, roughly 22 miles east of Gdansk. Stutthof was the first concentration camp the Nazis established outside Germany, opened in September 1939, and it was among the last camps liberated by the Allies. An estimated 110,000 people were deported there between 1939 and 1945, of whom around 65,000 died from execution, starvation, disease, and forced labor. Many of those brought to the camp for immediate execution were never formally registered, so the precise total will never be known with certainty.
After meeting your guide, you depart directly for the town of Sztutowo, where the camp is located. Originally built as a small prison for Poles and prisoners of war, Stutthof grew into the site of some of the worst atrocities of the war. Prisoners from 26 different nations were held there before it was finally liberated by the Soviet Army on May 9, 1945.
A visit to the camp site and museum takes about 2 hours. The museum shows a series of short films and displays artifacts recovered after liberation, including jewelry, artwork, and clothing. After this sobering visit, you return to Gdynia.
Mobility: folding wheelchairs are permitted in most areas, though some sections may be restricted; advance notice is required. If you're traveling with a larger group, this Gdynia shore excursion can be arranged with a mid-size bus or full-size coach.
