Be a witness to the horrors of the war. Visit Dachau Concentration Camp, one of the earliest structures built as a model for future camps.
On March 22nd, 1933, a few weeks after Adolf Hitler had been appointed Reich Chancellor, a concentration camp for political prisoners was set up in Dachau. This camp served as a model for all later concentration camps and as a "school of violence" for the SS men under whose command it stood.
In the twelve years of its existence, over 200.000 people from all over Europe were imprisoned there and in the numerous subsidiary camps. 41.500 were murdered. On April 29th, 1945, American troops liberated the survivors.
