Dachau, Germany
10 de julho de 2022, Alemanha ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
We went to the Dachau Concentration camp today. Dachau is only about an hour outside of Munich and was the first concentration camp that Hitler had built. It also was the only camp that was active for all 12 years (1933-1945). It was difficult to walk thru the site, read the stories and picture the horror that took place there.

The camp began as a prison for political prisoners/enemies of Hitler only, but then grew to one of the largest concentration camps of WW2 housing Jews from multiple countries. It was built to house 2700 - but at its peak, there were 64,000 prisoners there at one time.

The main exhibition hall has been put in the old buildings - and it is walls and walls of stories and of the history of this place. It was overwhelming reading them. We spent a couple hours there, but to read them all would have taken all day.

We were allowed to walk thru one of the barracks they lived in. Most had been demolished, but two were still intact. Each barrack had almost 1000 people squished in trying to survive.

Seeing where they prepared the bodies for execution was almost too much. We walked thru the actual gas chamber they used (disguised as “showers”) and then saw the crematoriums. They said in the end they didn’t “waste time” gassing anyone, they would simply hang them on the wooden beam in front of the crematorium chambers until dead, and then burn them.

Eventually, they quit burning the bodies and just piled them outside the fences. When the Allies arrived in 1945 to liberate the camp, they first came upon the thousands of dead bodies in stacks, before they could ever get to the gates.

I had read that if you ever get a chance to see a concentration camp first hand, you should do it. I definitely agree. It was very moving and emotional. To walk where they walked, to stand where they stood, to see where they died … something I’ll never forget. Something no one should ever forget.Leia mais

Dachau en Donau
16 de julho de 2022, Alemanha ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Floor en ik zijn vandaag naar Dachau ( concentratiekamp) geweest, even heel serieus dus !
Zeer indrukwekkend maar ook blij dat veel jeugd aanwezig was, zodat ook zij zien wat er zich heeft afgespeeld en dit misschien kunnen voorkomen.
Daarna naar een gratis camperplek aan de Donau, helaas geen zwemmen , daar is de stroming te sterk voor. Wc's niet zo proper. Gelukkig hebben we ook onze eigen. Poepen maar even niet en ophouden tot de volgende stop.
Maar wel Bbq en vanavond 3 vuurplekken met de andere camperaars,
Nu al zin in.Leia mais

Concentration camp.
The first permanent camp ever made - became the blue print for the rest. I didn't take many photos because it was extremely icky.

Needed a beer after the 5 hour experience! 😩

Dachau, and Olympic Park
24 de fevereiro de 2023, Alemanha ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
After a hearty breakfast we caught the local train and bus to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site, approximately 16km north of Munich.

Dachau was the longest operating concentration camp, established by Hitler in 1933 to house political prisoners. It was designed to accommodate 2,600 inmates, but when it was liberated in 1945, 32,000 prisoners were present.

There's very few original buildings now standing, the notable exception being the crematorium. Mass killings didn't occur at Dachau, but overwork, overcrowding and poor diet led to high levels of illness and death.

After lunch we returned to the central train station, then caught a tram to Olympic Park, site of the 1972 Olympic Games. We got good views of the area from the top of Olympic Mountain, one of the highest points in Munich with 360 degree views of the city. Our visit was cut short when it started raining, but not before we found one of the best caches we've ever seen, built into the geodetic reference marker on top of the hill.

Dinner was at a traditional Bavarian restaurant, pork knuckle and beer beef goulash 😋Leia mais

Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial

Sobering, but absolutely worth going to. Dachau was the first concentration camp and the model for others, the training site of the SS, and the only camp in operation throughout the 12 year Nazi campaign. The large map shows the full size of the site when it was in operation. The smaller map is of the crematorium (the room with holes in the roof is the gas chamber). The wide open space was the "roll call" area.Leia mais

It was extremely sobering to see the condition 200000 POWs had to endure. The weather was quite warm when we went through the camp but the rooms were still very cold. I hate to think what the temperature would be like in the middle of the winter. Bathing conditions were so minute and the bunk beds were literally like hard tables.Leia mais

38. Dachau Concentration Camp
13 de março, Alemanha ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Today we both woke up aching a little from all the walking yesterday, so we decided to drive instead of bike to Dachau concentration Camp.

We headed into the camp and firstly stopped at the prison, it was very detailed when explaining the crimes which the Nazi's made against these innocent people. If you made it into camp prison, you were in for a very rough time. Towards the end of the war they even filled the cells with partions so they couldn't lie nor sit down and they would keep prisoners in here for days at a time.

We then headed into the main building of the camp , here it explained about how the camp was ran. Despite being only a small camp, they had 188,000 inmates. The living conditions were awful and disease spread quickly. It was already running by 1933 and ran up to being liberated by the US army.

We visited the memorial and the mass grave outside the front of the building, still felt sickening that this ever happened, was a really emotional day reading the individual stories. Afterwards we headed into the only block left which the inmates shared. The last stop was the worse bit, it was a visit to a Gas chamber and crematorium. This was really sad and felt quite unnerving to visit. The Nazi's had destroyed all records before the camp was liberated and have declined any evidence of the gas chambers really being used, but this has always been testified by the survivors. It is estimated that 44,000 people died whilst the camp was running.

Afterwards we started to head towards Bad Tolz, the van went into intermittent limp mode to add to the emotions, so we stopped and seeked advice with a garage, who managed to clear the fault and send us on our way. They did this for free despite being offered some money, was very kind of them.

We gave the van a run and it seemed to run fine so we carried on our journey, after stopping for the van services we headed to a free park up by a sports complex. We had a nice evening in the end watching "The Gentleman" on Netflix, definitely worth a watch.Leia mais

Dachau

A hard day today - at Dachau Concentration Camp. It was a brilliantly assembled exhibition and memorial but a harrowing site to visit. Some of the site was reconstruction but it would be hard to know that without the presented information. In the prisoners camp, through a (replica) gate which says 'Arbeit Macht Frei', the maintenance building housed an exhibition from the end of WWI to the opening of Dachau, and then on explaining how Dachau was used, grew and changed over time before liberation on 29 April 1945, and the ensuing Dachau trials.

Beyond the reconstructed barrack blocks, there were Protestant, Catholic and Jewish memorials. At the crematorium, it was difficult to walk past the ovens and through the gas chamber (which wasn't used en masse in the way it was at other camps, but still). The gardens surrounding the crematorium had been made into memorials for the ashes that had been deposited in them.

We followed the Path of Remembrance back to Dachau town, this was the 3km route many prisoners were forced to walk to the camp.Leia mais

Dachau and art gallery
29 de junho de 2022, Alemanha ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Today we woke up and did a group tour of the Dachau concentration camp which we learned was the first one there was. The tour was very informational and sad but important to see. The guide was very knowledgeable and offered a lot of information as he’d been doing it everyday for 10 years. The whole tour took most of the day but we spent the rest of the afternoon at the Alte Pinakothek art gallery where there were some Van Goghs and Monets. Then we met up with some of the people from the hostel for the night.Leia mais
