Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site

Established in 1933 by Adolf Hitler’s Nazi government, the Dachau Concentration Camp served as a site of immense suffering, where over 40,000 individuals were killed and more than 200,000 were imprisoned. Located near Munich, Germany, the camp was liberated by American troops in 1945. Since 1965, the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site has stood as a place of remembrance and education, preserving the history and honoring the victims. Visitors today can explore the preserved structures, including the barracks and the crematorium, and gain a somber understanding of the atrocities that occurred here through exhibitions and guided tours.
