Frøslev Prison Camp was build in 1943, when the German occupation forces started deporting a lot of people (Jews, communists etc.) from Denmark. The Danish government managed to get permission to build a camp in Denmark for these prisoners. The Camp is almost on the boarder between Denmark and Germany. Today the camp houses a World War II museum, as well as a Home Guard, UN and Civil Defence museum.
