Stutthof Museum - near Gdansk, Poland

Every year in May, the final year students from Gimnazjum #4, went with their History teacher to the Stutthof museum to see with their own eyes what thay had learnt in History classes. Follow their photos of the concentration camp which was established in 1939.

"Tens of thousands of people, perhaps as many as 110,000, were deported to the Stutthof camp. The prisoners were mainly non-Jewish Poles. There were also Polish Jews from Warsaw and Białystok, and Jews from forced-labor camps in the occupied Baltic states, which the Germans evacuated in 1944 as Soviet forces approached. These totals are thought to be conservative, as it is believed that inmates sent for immediate execution were not registered."
