Exciting day with many intriguing WW2 finds telling the story of the daily life in the camp and the "Urlaubsfahrt" of the "Heer" soldiers.

A few weeks ago we opened up the first exhibition with finds from the excavations 2015-2017. The exhibition is in central Helsinki (Merimiehenkatu 36). Here are a few pictures so you can get the general idea about it. The exhibition is about the German soldiers who passed through the "Durchagangslager" to meet their end in Finland 1943-1944.
