Introduction
The Dachau camp is a Nazi concentration camp, and it is the first camp built after Hitler came into government. It was called the horror show and had a very dark and eerie feeling to it. It was the end of the beginning and the beginning of the future.It is very important that this and other spaces related to this dark time in human history be made known so that it does not happen again. For this reason, it is offered a Dachau Memorial Tour.
The first Nazi concentration camp
Just seven weeks later, the primary concentration camp in Germany was established. This camp was a brief distance outside of Munich besides the town of Dachau. The direct targets were the political opponents: Communists, Socialists, journalists, and outspoken clergymen. Nazis put them into the Dachau concentration camps for "re-education," and some never returned.The Model camp
This infamous camp had been used as a model to make other camps. It is miserable. The SS would train their men here then command a massive system of centres stretching across Nazi-occupied Europe. The Nazis also called it "The camp of horror.” At Dachau, the SS created an environment where the citizenry would be subjected to torture, starvation, degradation, medical experiments, mass executions, and death. They had joined together to make the International Dachau Committee. The Bavarian government provided support.Opening hours
