Summary/Abstract: This article presents the experience of the borderlands in memories of witnesses to history during the evacuation of KL Stutthof in the winter and early spring of 1945. The route crossed the former Free City of Gdańsk and Kashubian villages, reaching as far as German territories, leaving behind the markers of a memory-place analysed here within their pedagogical context. The aim of the article is to present the attitudes of prisoners and the borderland inhabitants and their remembrances.
