Today, we’re visiting Dachau concentration camp. Dachau was the first concentration camp established in March of 1933, and it was also the longest running camp, finally liberated April 29, 1945, by the U.S. 42nd Division. Many records were destroyed, but it’s estimated 200,000 were imprisoned here and 40,000 were either murdered or died of starvation and other horrific causes. There is a gas chamber and large crematorium on the property, which we will post later. #dachau #germany #germany🇩🇪 .#

Today we visited the SS shooting range at Dachau, a chilling site where more than 4,000 Russian prisoners of war were executed by the Nazis. Standing in this quiet, wooded area, it’s almost impossible to comprehend the brutality that took place here. The silence now is haunting — a stark contrast to the horror and suffering that once filled this space. Places like this are essential to remember, to confront, and to share, so that the atrocities of the past are never repeated. #Dachau #HolocaustR
