Munich’s Concentration Camp Memorial Tour: Dachau

Soon after the Nazis took power, the future head of the SS (Heinrich Himmler) ordered the construction of Dachau to serve as a prison for political (and later social and ethnic) enemies of Nazi Germany. By the time American soldiers liberated the camp in 1945, more than 40,000 people had lost their lives to the camp’s deadly conditions and the guards’ brutality.

Memorial personnel will provide a 2 hour tour, after which you will have time to explore aspects of the camp that most interest you.

Where and When? Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday 12 pm by the column in the center of Marienplatz (S/U-Bahn). €15, €12 for students (includes transportation to and from the memorial)
