    The trip was well planned. Our train and bus connections went well without problems. Our tour guide Eileen was well knowledgeable of the history of the Dachau Concentration Camp and she was easy to get along with. She always checked that everyone was there. She gave us time to visit the different areas of the camp along with the visitors center and even offered to take people to Marienplatz afterwards. I would highly recommend this tour and it was approximately 5 hours.

More information

Located just outside Munich, the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site is one of the most important historical places in Germany. Today, it stands as a space for remembrance, education and reflection on the crimes committed during the Nazi regime.

Historical background

Established in 1933, Dachau was the first concentration camp created by the Nazis and served as a model for those that followed. Over its twelve years of operation, tens of thousands of prisoners were imprisoned, forced into labor and killed. The site included prisoner barracks, administrative buildings and crematoria, many of which remain or have been carefully reconstructed to preserve historical accuracy.

Why visit

Visiting Dachau provides essential context for understanding the Holocaust and the mechanisms of political repression in Nazi Germany. The memorial encourages reflection rather than tourism, offering exhibitions, preserved structures and documentation that focus on victims’ experiences and historical responsibility.
