Dachau Memorial Tour: Understanding the Third Reich

Get an introduction into the history of the Third Reich and explore one of the most important sites related to the Third Reich on a half-day tour, learning about life and death in the city under National Socialism.

Dachau Concentration Camp was the first which the Nazis opened in 1933 in Germany, originally intended to hold political prisoners only. Later it became a camp of forced labor with over 200,000 inmates during its 12 years of operation. The place became an “Academy of Terror”, a role-model and a training ground of vast brutality, killing around 40,000 people from 34 nations before it was liberated in 1945 by the American army.

You will learn about the history of the Third Reich, the horrendous acts against humanity that were often performed at the Camp, the daily life of the prisoners and the guards at Dachau Concentration Camp. Hear stories about the Sonderbehandlung (“special treatment”) 14 f 13 and how the old, the sick, and the weak prisoners were sent to their final “treatment”. Learn more about the medical experiments on prisoners, the Roma prisoners and their dreadful fates, the gruesome stories of some of the survivors of Dachau

You will see the main gate of the camp / Jourhaus (SS offices), the Roll call area and the International monument with commemorative plaque, the former maintenance building, hosting the museum and showing a documentary *“Bunker” - former camp prison. Admire two reconstructed barracks, many religious memorials, the security installations with guard towers and outer walls (partially reconstructed) and the crematorium area with gas chamber
