 * __Dachau Concentration Camp__**

 The Dachau Concentration Camp was originally meant for political prisoners. Over the years, other types of people were admitted to the camp. Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, Gypsies, and asocials were sent to Dachau. Follow the link below to find what event in November of 1938 that lead to an increase in Jewish prisoners. [|USHMM- Dachau Concentration Camp Info]  As time went by, the prisoner population grew, which required selections. Selections seperated the strong from the weak and controlled overcrowding. If you were too weak or too ill to work at camp, you were selected. Unlike most concentration camps in the era of the Holocaust, Dachau was not an extermination camp. Click the link below to find out where the selected prisoners were sent and how many from Dachau were killed.

The memorial, located in the former camp, has many exhibits, tributes, and informative tours. Renovating the entire camp was no easy task.
