    On May 1, 1941, at a place called "Le Struthof", the Nazis opened a concentration camp to exploit a seam of pink granite discovered on the spot. During its activity, the camp also serves as a place for dismantling aircraft engines and medical experiments. The main camp was discovered by the Americans on November 25, 1944. From 1941 to 1945, 52,000 prisoners were deported to the camp and 17,000 died.

    Today, a memorial and a necropolis occupy the site of the former main camp. Open to the public, allow up to three hours to visit the entire site.
