The First Nazi Concentration Camp in Poland - Fort VII - Poznan
Join this heartfelt journey to the western edge of Poznan, Poland, where the haunting silhouette of Fort VII stands as a sombre marker of history's darker times. This place, initially built for military purposes, unwittingly became the first Nazi concentration camp, a grim testament to the atrocities of World War II. Here, we will share stories of resilience and courage of those who faced unimaginable horrors yet held onto hope. Our exploration into Fort VII is not just a recount of sorrow but a tribute to the indomitable human spirit that shines through even in the darkest hours. Let's step back in time together, uncovering the lessons and legacies left behind at Fort VII

The Polish Government should take note! KZreadrs attract Tourists to lesser known places!
When we visited here a couple of years ago, there were few visitors that day also. I think it is not well known. Prior to my visit, I didn't know that the Nazis had established concentration camps so early in the war. Thank you for your video.

POW camp. Nice to see history but surely you're aware the winners can distort the truth at will.

A Concentration Camp is a place in which large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities, sometimes to provide forced labour or to await mass execution. yes the winners write history. There are no inflated numbers in this camp. I speak freely of the registered deaths and the unregistered deatsh connected with the camp/POW Prison. It's a Barracks, Fort, Camp that has in my mind been very much neglected in terms of information = hence why it gets so few visitors. I'm simply raising awareness fo the place.
Why you keep saying Nazy when it was German concentration camp. Do not wash German histoty. This concentration camp is good reminded what is happeninmg to Europe when Germany is rearming, and it is rearming right now,

Historians and educators often prefer "Nazi concentration camps" to make a clear distinction between the regime and the nation, thus avoiding the implication that the entire German population was complicit. This distinction is important for accurately representing the historical context and for teaching about the specifics of the regime's ideology and the mechanisms it used to carry out its policies, including the Holocaust. Germany is not re-arming - it is too cucked under the EU to do anything.

@blok63 also not true. Adolf hitler was Austrian. Many Nazis were not German.
