Tips

KZ-Gedenkstätte Husum-Schwesing

July 11, 2024

Hiking

The daily route of the concentration camp prisoners to the forced labor at Friesenwall led either through the railway or the road-side camp entrance. The concentration camp prisoners initially had to walk about 12 to 15 km, but later trains were also used to transport them to the construction sites. The prisoners then had to walk from the railway line through the marsh to the work sites. On the way to the forced labor and back to the camp, they often passed through the town of Husum and other places in the surrounding area.
