Located in a wooded patch

north of Munich,

Dachau opened in 1933

as the Nazis'

first concentration camp,

not long after Adolf Hitler

came to power.

 

The original plan was to house

5,000 political prisoners there,

but SS leader Heinrich Himmler

extended Dachau's

mandate to forced labor,

the imprisonment of Jews

and warehousing

prisoners of war.

 

The camp ended up

including nearly

100 satellite facilities,

which were mostly

work camps.

Between 1933 and 1945,

Nazi Germany and its allies

established more than 44,000 camps

and other incarceration sites

(including ghettos).

 

The perpetrators

used these locations

for a range of purposes,

including forced labor,

detention of people

deemed to be

"enemies of the state,"

and mass murder.

 

Millions of people

suffered and died

or were killed.

 

Among these sites was Dachau

the longest operating camp.
