For School Groups: Dachau Concentration Camp Tour

Guided Tour for School Groups – Dachau Memorial Site

Understanding history – at the place where it happened.

Join us on a Dachau concentration camp tour and visit one of the most important historical memorial sites in Germany. When Munich’s Police President Heinrich Himmler announced the opening of Dachau concentration camp on 20 March 1933, few people could have imagined that this name would forever become synonymous with SS violence and Nazi terror. Dachau was the first concentration camp in Germany – and the model for all those that followed.

„Dachau – the significance of this name cannot be erased from German history. It stands for all the concentration camps the National Socialists established throughout their territory.“ – Eugen Kogon, survivor and author
