This was our first concentration camp experience and it was humbling to see the poor conditions that the prisoners had to live in. Built in 1933, Dachau was the Nazis' first concentration camp. It was built to house political prisoners. By it's end there were more then 200,000 inmates and between 30,000 - 43,000 were killed here. Words can not express the emotions that were felt here. It is so hard to understand the systematic killing that took place here.
