Dachau was founded in 1933 and was the first of the German concentration camps. It was used as a model for the other camps.


Scene outside of the main gate of the concentration camp.









The main gate into the camp... it reads "Freedom through work"



The main administrative building in the background & memorial in front of it.



Writing on the wall... This room is where new prisoners were registered... stripped of their clothes & belongings... and given prision clothes...



The trees that ran in between the prisoner's bunkhouses... two of the bunkhouses have been rebuilt in the distance... all that remains of the originals are the foundations...



One of the two crematoriums
