Gross-Rosen was a main camp among the network of concentration camps (over 100!) build by the Nazis in eastern Germany, Czechoslovakia and occupied Poland. It was operating between 1940 and 1945 near Rogoznica village. At the beginning it served as a single labour camp, but as the Final Solution came into force, it developed into numerous smaller sub-camps including secret subsidiaries hidden among mountain labyrinths.

It is estimated that there were 125 000 prisoners in the camp overall. Around 40 000 of them were either murdered or died of hunger, distress or different types of diseases. One of the most tragic events in the camp’s history was its evacuation in 1945. So-called Death March was extremely brutal and thousands of people lost their lives, sometimes being forced to march for few weeks.

The Museum Gross Rosen was created in 1983. Soon, it became popular among international visitors and today it hosts thousands of tourists every year. It is located in the original place of the former Gross Rosen concentration camp.
