While in Munich, Germany I visited Dachau. *filmed September 2019*

This content may be sensitive for some viewers, however, I would encourage you to push through that discomfort so that we can ensure atrocities like this, never happen again.

Dachau, the first Nazi concentration camp, opened in 1933, shortly after Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) became chancellor of Germany. Located in southern Germany, Dachau was initially a camp for political prisoners; however, it eventually evolved into a death camp where countless thousands of Jews died from malnutrition, disease, and overwork or were executed.

In addition to Jews, the camp’s prisoners included members of other groups Hitler considered unfit for the new Germany, including artists, intellectuals, the physically and mentally handicapped and homosexuals.

Dachau served as a prototype and model for the other German concentration camps that followed. Dachau was the concentration camp that was in operation the longest, from March 1933 to April 1945, nearly all twelve years of the Nazi regime.

In late 1944, a typhus epidemic occurred in Dachau camp caused by poor sanitation and overcrowding, which caused more than 15,000 deaths. It was followed by an evacuation, in which large numbers of the prisoners died. Toward the end of the war, death marches to and from the camp caused the deaths of numerous unrecorded prisoners. After liberation, prisoners weakened beyond recovery by the starvation conditions continued to die. There were 32,000 documented deaths at the Dachau, and thousands that are undocumented.
