    The KL-Natzweiler opened in May 1941. Intended to provide the Reich with a slave workforce for its industry, it primarily brought together political deportees. It also included Jewish, Gypsy, homosexual and Jehovah's Witness deportees. 52 deportees passed through this camp (either in the central camp or in one of its 000 external camps). Nearly a third died there.
    Within the enclosure of the former camp, the visitor can discover four barracks including the prison and the crematorium, as well as a historical museum. Located 1.5 km below, the gas chamber can also be visited.
    In 2005, the European Center for Deported Resisters was inaugurated. Spanning 2 m000, it houses a permanent exhibition devoted to Nazism and the resistance, educational rooms and a temporary exhibition space.
