Additional Information
Dachau Concentration Camp, established by the Nazis in 1933 in Germany, was initially designed to detain political prisoners. Over time, it evolved into a forced labor camp, incarcerating more than 200,000 individuals throughout its 12-year existence.
Dubbed an “Academy of Terror,” it served as a prototype and training site for extreme cruelty, resulting in the deaths of approximately 40,000 people from 34 different countries before being liberated by the American army in 1945.
