A Place with Many Stories
Established in 1944, the Frøslev Camp served as an internment camp during World War II, where Danish citizens were detained by the German occupying forces. The museum tells their stories – accounts of hardship, but also of courage, solidarity, and hope for a better future.
Insight into Life in the Camp
Visitors can step inside authentic barracks to experience how prisoners managed their daily lives. Discover how they personalized their surroundings with handmade objects and the significance of clandestine messages and news. It is particularly moving to see how individuals maintained their creativity and supported one another despite the adversity.
The “White Buses” – A Hopeful Return
