Dachau

Dachau was the first Nazi concentration camp, established in 1933 near Munich, Germany. Initially intended for political prisoners, it later expanded to detain Jews, Romani people, homosexuals, and numerous others deemed undesirable by the Nazi regime. Over the years, tens of thousands were imprisoned there, facing inhumane conditions and forced labor. Dachau became a symbol of the atrocities of the Holocaust and the broader network of concentration camps. Today, it serves as a memorial and museum, educating visitors about the camp's history and promoting remembrance and reflection on the dangers of intolerance and authoritarianism.
