Tour Itinerary

The former concentration camp at Dachau is now preserved as a memorial to the tens of thousands of people, of various nationalities, who suffered and died there at the hands of the Nazis between 1933 & 1945.

During the roughly 3 hours which you have at the Memorial you will get to see the complete site both inside and out. Inspect the re-created barrack block and try to imagine the horrific conditions in which the prisoners lived. See the Bunker (prison) where torture was a regular event and pass through the gateway with the cruelly misleading words "ARBEIT MACHT FREI" (Freedom through work). Visit too the disguised gas chamber and the 2 crematoriums. There will also be time to watch the 22-minute long documentary film (in English) made from footage by both the Nazis and the liberating American troops.

This tour was made especially valuable by a knowledgeable and capable tour guide. My only regret is that my schedule did not permit me to participate in an additional tour with this guide. The guide taught us a lot and the tour was thought provoking. Thank you.
