Sztutowo pronounced [ʂtuˈtɔvɔ] (German: Stutthof) is a village in Nowy Dwór County, within the Pomeranian Voivodeship of northern Poland.
At the beginning of World War II, Nazi Germany established the Stutthof concentration camp in the village, which soon developed into a huge complex of 40 subcamps across numerous locations, with as many as 100,000 people incarcerated there from all of German-occupied Europe, and more than 85,000 victims.
