Located north of Munich, this solemn memorial commemorates the first Nazi concentration camp, established in 1933. Serving as a horrific prototype and training center for all subsequent camps, Dachau imprisoned over 200,000 people before US liberation in 1945. Today, visitors walk through the gate bearing the cynical slogan Arbeit macht frei, across the roll-call grounds to reconstructed barracks, the crematorium, and museum archives.
Highlights
- Historic camp gate inscribed with the words Arbeit macht frei
- Extensive documentary exhibition inside the former maintenance building
- International monument on the roll-call square and religious memorials
