Description:

Head out to Dachau—home to one of Germany's first concentration camps. Gain valuable insight as you delve into the city's dark history. Explore locations where convicts were abused, see remnants of the camp, and hear tragic stories that bring Munich's riddled past to life.

Meet your guide at Marienplatz and hop on the train to the historic town of Dachau—where Heinrich Himmler opened Dachau Concentration Camp in 1933. Follow your knowledgeable guide as you wander through the grounds of the former camp. During WWII over 200,000 people from over 30 nations—including Jews, Germans, and Austrians—were held captive, abused, and forced into slave labor.

The remaining surroundings and exhibitions provide insight to the disturbed experiences and corrupt management of the camp. Learn about the standing cells, the hanging poles and trees, and the inhumane living conditions of the captives—resulting in over 32,000 recorded deaths.

Your experience is bought to life as your expert guide tells you heart-wretched stories of the brutality, torture, gas chambers, and mass deaths of the detainees. In the present day, this memorial site is one of the most significant centers of remembrance, contemplation, and learning in Germany.
