MyTop 2 Cities in Germany
The second photo gallery below contains pictures from the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial. On March 22, 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 all 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 subsidiary camps. More than 43,000 of them died. On April 29, 1945, American troops liberated survivors. Although it was a very humbling and emotional experience, I would recommend that anyone traveling through Dachau take the time to see this site and remember those whose lives were taken here.
