Stutthof was established September of 1939 west of Sztutowo, Poland. It was originally civilian internment camp. In 1941 it became a "labor education" camp, and then in January 1942 it became a regular concentration camp. It is estimated that 100,000 people, mainly non-Jewish Poles, were deported here. Camp conditions were brutal; most prisoners died from typhus. About 60,000 died in the camp (Stutthof).
"From now on you are no longer a person, just a number. All your rights have been left outside the gate- you are left with only one and that you are free to do – leave through that chimney.” -Zbigniew Raczkiewicz (Stutthof).
