Dachau concentration camp was the first Nazi concentration camp, established in 1933 near Dachau, Germany. Initially designed to detain political prisoners, it later expanded to hold Jews, Roma, homosexuals, and other groups deemed undesirable by the Nazi regime. Over 200,000 people were imprisoned there during its operation, facing harsh conditions, forced labor, and inhumane treatment. The camp was liberated by American forces on April 29, 1945. After the war, it became a memorial site to honor the victims and educate the public about the atrocities of the Holocaust. Today, the Dachau Memorial Site serves as a reminder of the dangers of hatred and intolerance.
