 | Munich Dachau and Dachau Concentration camp Reviews | 1 - 10 of 22 |  |
Dachau is one of Munich's suburbs, and now infamous for being home to the first concentration camp from Hitler's Germany. It also served as a prototype and model for the others that followed...
Among the eerie reminders of the horrors- gas chambers (which for some reason were never used in Dacau) and the wrought iron gate to the main camp, which bears the words `Arbeit Macht Frei' or `Work will set you free'. The nazi's had this motto/ slogan put up at many of their concentration camps.
Of course, nobody was ever released for hard work or cooperation...
The original barracks were later pulled down, though one was rebuilt and is used as a display of the camps history. The remaining barracks are now just marked by small concrete foundations with numbers on each of them.
Almost 30,000 prisoners were killed here, and many others lost their lives due to other causes while at the camp. The exact numbers are hard to determine.
The best way to get there is to take the S-Bahn (S2) to Dachau station, and then follow the signs. Busses run regularly (724/ 726) between the station and the campsite.
Its a 10 min walk from there on to the main entrance.
The Memorial Site is open on all days except for Mondays, between 9 am and 5 pm.
Entry is free. Leave a Comment

 Dachau Concentration Camp by diageva
I founded of extrem interest the museum inside with pictures, things, and lots of history and events in that time that try to make you understand in what kind of situations this madness came out ....
What made me so bad was the film ... seeing that film at the place maked me very upset ...
I feel that is a must see place ... but I will only recomend the history museum as very interesting ... the rest is up to you and ... warning about the rude ...
I hope that no one will misunderstand me ... I feel is important that this memorial camp exist ... Leave a Comment

The town of Dachau and with it, the memorial site for Dachau's concentration camp, is only an hour away from Munich's city centre by public transportation. Make sure you go there. It will be a sad trip. But it's important that as many people as possible see this in order to make sure that what happened here between 1933 and 1945 will never ever happen again!
Read more about my visit here on my Dachau Page.
Directions: From Munich take S-Bahn number 2 in direction Petershausen and get off at Dachau main station. In front of the station there's a bus terminal. Busses to the memorial site are very well signposted from there. Leave a Comment

 The gate by snorril
Dachau was the first concentration camp and over 200.000 people were sent there, of wich 30.000 died. The exhibition is shocking, to say the least.
The entrance is free but I would recommend hiring a radio guide. Leave a Comment

 Dachau Concentration Camp,
outside Munich, Germany by XtravelloverX
The museum is divided into four parts: The Entrance Hall, The Vestibule, Center-First part and Center-Second part.
The Entrance Hall shows the main concentration camps w/their sub. camps.
The Vestibule shows the documentation; the period preceding the Third Reich.
The Center-First part shows the main part of the exhibition beginning with documents illustrating the seizure of power by the Nazis in 1933. The you see the foundation of the camp, the arrival of prisoners, life in the concentration camp, working conditions, punishments and transfers of prisoners to other camps.
The Center-Second part shows executions and a description of the so-called final solution of Jews.
This concentration camp will grip you, compel you to seek truth and raise more questions about humanity than you could ever imagine. Go, don't deny yourself the opportunity to experience this place.
You can take a private car or S2/s-bahn- train/bus to Dachau, as it is only 45 minutes from Munich.
Note: the site is closed on Mondays. Leave a Comment
