DACHAU CONCENTRATION CAMP

Dachau is located at Alte Römerstraße 75, 85221 Dachau, Germany. See Mapquest for directions.

On March 22, 1933 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 persons from all over Europe were imprisoned here and in the numerous subsidary camps. 41,500 were murdered. On April 29 1945, American troops liberated the survivors.

The Memorial Site on the grounds of the former concentration camp was established in 1965 on the initiative of the surviving prisoners with financial support provided by the Bavarian government to serve as a reminder to the human tragedy which must never again take place.

While touring the camp many visitors feel cold spots in addition to being overcome with emotions of dread and sadness. Some experience the feeling of sickness around the barracks while others develop severe headaches and dizziness around the old crematorium. Some claim to feel the hands of apparitions hold onto their own as they walk through the children’s centers or the gas chamber. It is said that birds do not enter the camp, and in the rare times they do, they do not sing.
