Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site
The Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site is located near Munich, Germany, and was the first Nazi concentration camp established in 1933. Initially intended for political prisoners, it later expanded to include various groups, including Jews, Roma, and homosexuals. The camp was liberated by American forces in 1945, and today it serves as a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust.
The memorial site includes a museum, preserved barracks, and a crematorium, providing visitors with insights into the camp's history and the atrocities committed there. It aims to educate the public about the dangers of totalitarianism and the importance of human rights.
