Uncover the history behind Nazi concentration camps at Dachau. Walk through the remaining buildings and watch an informative film as you learn what life was like for those interned here. There is plenty of time for quiet reflection at the religious memorials scattered around this site of notorious Nazi brutality.
Journey out of Munich and first through the small town of Dachau, age 1200. Here it can be difficult to imagine how such a pretty village in Upper Bavaria could become the site of one of the world’s worst atrocities.
After you arrive at the former concentration camp, a licensed guide will lead you through the Concentration Camp Memorial Site with the still-standing buildings. A museum and documentary film help drive home the harrowing reality of life for those unfortunate enough to be held here. Hear of the notorious medical experiments, vicious torture methods, and ruthless mass execution of tens of thousands of inmates.
Before being taken back to Munich the former SS-Shooting Range of Hebertshausen is visited.
Explanations and information provided by the guide on the airconditioned bus. For reasons related to monument preservation, not all paths in the former prison camp have been paved and some are not wheelchair-accessible. Visitors are asked to respect the dignity of the site by wearing appropriate attire.
