Dachau
85221 Dachau, Germany“The meaning of this name cannot be erased from German history – Dachau, the first Nazi concentration camp (Concentration Camp)”
On 22 March 1933, a few weeks after Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor, a concentration camp for political prisoners was established at Dachau, 16km northwest of Munich. This was the first camp in Germany and a model for all subsequent concentration camps under the Nazi regime. In its 12 years of existence, more than 200,000 people have been imprisoned here, including Jews, communists, political dissidents, resistance fighters, writers, priests and members of the Bavarian royal family. About 41,5000 people were murdered here. The memorial site at the camp was established in 1965 by survivors. It includes veterans representing the different faiths persecuted at Dachau and a permanent exhibition of the first prisoners at the Concentration Camp. Dachau can be reached by an S-Bahn and a short bus ride from Munich.
