This trail visits the site of one of the main Jewish concentration camps in the Nord Pas de Calais: Camp Tibor. It also takes in a visit to the graves of Jewish victims of the Holocaust who died at the camp. You will also see some of the major German fortifications of the area, including the Kriegsmarine, which was a massive munitions store for the German Navy and a military site of national importance.
