Natzweiler-Struthof Concentration Camp Memorial

The KL-Natzweiler concentration camp was inaugurated in May 1941 by the Nazi regime. Designed to exploit slave labor in the Reich's industry, it primarily held political deportees, but also Jews, Roma, homosexuals, and Jehovah's Witnesses. Of the 52,000 deportees who passed through the central camp and its 70 subcamps, nearly one-third lost their lives under these extreme conditions.

Today, visitors can explore the remains of the central camp, including four preserved barracks, the prison, and the crematorium. The gas chamber, located 1.5 km away, is also accessible. These sites serve as a reminder of the horrors of deportation and the Holocaust.

Since 2005, the European Center of Deported Resistance Fighters, covering 2,000 m², complements the visit. It offers a permanent exhibition on Nazism and the resistance, educational spaces, and a room dedicated to temporary exhibitions.
