Dachau
September 2015.
“In March 1933, a concentration camp for political prisoners was established on this site. It served as a model for all subsequent concentration camps and was under the command of the SS. In the 12 years of its existence, over 200,000 persons from throughout Europe were incarcerated here and in the numerous subcamps. More than 43,000 died. On April 29, 1945, U.S. troops liberated the survivors.
The former prisoner camp became a Memorial Site in 1965.”
