The Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site preserves the grounds of the first Nazi concentration camp, opened in 1933 just 16 km north of Munich. The site includes the roll-call square, reconstructed barracks, gas chamber building, and a sobering exhibition documenting the 41,500 victims.
Opened on 22 March 1933 for political prisoners, Dachau became the prototype for all subsequent Nazi concentration camps. Over 200,000 people were imprisoned here until liberation by US forces on 29 April 1945.
