It is difficult for me to write about Dachau Concentration Camp. Opened in 1933 it was the first of it’s kind, refined over the years to Theodor Eicke’s grand design and becoming a template the many camps that followed during the Third Reich’s rule.
While not a death camp as such, later during the war the camp did get a gas chamber and crematorium built in it. There are no confirmed numbers of how many people were killed in the chamber however due to the poor conditions of the camp around 30,000 people are thought to have died while incarcerated here. Most of the people placed in detention here were “political prisoners”.
I don’t really want to write about the things I learned that occurred here as I don’t feel they are appropriate for this blog, but I suggest you read on in wikipedia to understand more.
