Welcome to the camp
A story of uncertainty and hope, justice and revenge
At Frøslev Camp, you encounter history right where it unfolded. Here, prisoners sat in fear of deportation to German concentration camps – but also with a glimmer of hope for survival. Through true stories told in the original barracks, you will gain insight into human courage and resilience under harsh circumstances. Uncertainty still lurks in every corner, while hope shines through in the prisoners' secret resistance struggle.
