Dachau Concentration Camp, Germany

We made a brief stop at Dachau. A visit to this site always leaves a lasting impression regarding the cruel treatment that humans inflicted on fellow humans.




This was one of the bunkers where prisoners were held. Cells were small and sometimes prisoners needed to stand for hours.











These bunks were where most of the prisoners slept. They were very small and as you can see close together. Very little private space.








No privacy when the bathroom was used.








Facilities for washing.









Many persons either died or were killed while at Dachau. Use of the crematorium and gas chamber were common.





Jews, professionals, intellectuals, artists, and religious leaders were killed in these ovens.













Some persons died in this gas chamber.









Dachau leaves a lasting impression.
