Dachau Concentration Camp


 

The Dachau Concentration Camp has a notorious reputation for being the first concentration camp ever set up in Nazi Germany. Over 200,000 prisoners were imprisoned here and thousands were killed. Find out more about the daily brutality and the harsh conditions of the camp. You’ll see where prisoners had their daily roll call, experience what their crowded barracks looked like, visit the many memorials at the camp, and bear witness to the execution grounds which still house the gas chamber, gallows, execution ditch, and crematoria.
