Concentration Lager Stutthof in Danzig

A documentary about Stutthof concentration camp in Danzig, Poland. The Stutthof camp was built immediately after the German invasion of Poland. Hundreds of Polish Jews were brought there from Gdansk, as well as Polish Patriots, Poland's Government officials, teachers, military personnel, etc. The men worked in the construction of barracks of the "old camp". An S.S. camp was built: staff quarters, an administration building, shacks, and barbed wire fences were erected. Finally the "new" camp was built with huts and crematoriums. After Himmler visited the camp it was given a very high score. In total 120,000 prisoners passed through Stutthof camp, of 25 Nationalities from 19 countries. About 95,000 people were murdered there. The film is based on many documents, including a few authentic photographs and archive footage.
