The Stutthof Museum in Sztutowo
The main goal of the Stutthof Museum in Sztutowo is to commemorate and document the history of Stutthof, the former German Nazi concentration and extermination camp and its sub-camps, with particular emphasis on the analysis of the problems and consequences of genocide, as well as raise the awareness and educate the public about the massacres in Piaśnica.
Konzentrationslager Stutthof was the first and the longest-operating concentration camp in Europe, established and run by Nazi Germans in the areas incorporated into the Third Reich, previously located in the Free City of Danzig, after the outbreak of World War II. The camp operated between 1939 and 1945 in Stutthof (called Sztutowo now), a village in the current Pomeranian Region in Poland. It is estimated that close to 65,000 people perished in the camp.
The Stutthof Museum in Sztutowo also has a branch in Wejherowo - the Piaśnica Museum in Wejherowo.
