Private Dachau Memorial Site Tour from Munich｜Germany

Dachau was the first concentration camp to open its doors in Germany, less than two months after Hitler came to power and was the only camp to operate for the full 12-year duration of Nazi tyranny. It served as the 'model' camp for all others and was also known as the 'school of terror' as the largest SS training facility within the Reich was located there. By the time the U.S. liberators arrived on April 29, 1945, 206,000 people from 34 different nationalities had been imprisoned and in excess of 43,000 had been murdered.

Dachau was also the first concentration camp to become an International Memorial in 1965.

This tour will delve into the history of Dachau at various stages in its history and subsequent use in the post-war years and help clarify the political and economic climate of the 1930's that allowed this tragic chapter in Europe's history to unfold. We will discuss the daily life of the prisoners, punishment in the camp, medical experimentation, religion camp, prisoner groups and liberation.

After meeting at your centrally located hotel, the memorial site or other centrally located location it takes no more than 45 minutes to reach the memorial.
