About this experience
This tour visits Dachau Concentration Camp, the first camp opened by the Nazis in 1933, initially designed for political prisoners. Over its 12 years of operation, it held more than 200,000 inmates and became a site of forced labor. The camp is known for its brutality, with approximately 40,000 people from 34 nations killed before its liberation by the American army in 1945. The tour is suitable for those interested in history and memorialization. It may not be appropriate for younger audiences or those sensitive to traumatic historical content. Participants should be prepared for walking and may want to consider the emotional weight of the visit.
