Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial

There is a memorial dedicated to the memory of former prisoners of "death camps" on the territory of the former Dachau concentration camp.

But the farther the flywheel of the Nazi repression went, the more political prisoners, Jews, and then those captured during the Second World War appeared in Dachau.

The living conditions rapidly deteriorated. Beginning in 1942 experiments on people started in Dachau. Gas chambers were put in use. The exact number of prisoner deaths claimed at Dachau under the Nazi regime, is not determined until now. What is clear is that they have been tens of thousands. Famous prisoners of Dachau included the former Austrian chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, the sons of heir to the Austrian throne, Franz Ferdinand (with whose assassination the First World War started), Serbian Patriarch Gabriel.
