It was actually Dachau Concentration Camp, and a total of 31,951 deaths. 25,334 of them Jews.

Dachau was an ordinary concentration camp, not an extermination camp. Its main purpose was a punishment and labour camp for political prisoners. Obviously, conditions there were bad, but it was not comparable to extermination camps like Treblinka. Most of the Jews at Dachau were there because of their politics. Wikipedia gives the death toll at Dachau and its sub-camps as about 35,000.

It was a concentration camp that gassed people and cremated their bodies. It did have work sections, but people were worked to death and the majority of people sent there died in the gas chambers. Actually age did make a difference. Children, babies, the elderly, infirm, sick, and disabled were killed in the gas chambers.

Many experements were conducted, but the main experements were focused around nerve, muscle, and bone transplantation.

Dachau is nearly 16 kilometers (9.9 miles) from Munich.

During the Holocaust, Dachau was a Concentration Camp.

It was a concentration camp.

Approximately 200,000 people survived auschwitz concentration camps , most of them was Jews, Soviet POWs and couple of gypsies and 1 or 2 homosexuals.

They were all Nazi concentration camps. In addition, part of Auschwitz was an extermination camp.

When prisoners first arrived they were taken out of the freight trains. Afterwards they were herded into large areas where they were often sorted between the "healthy" and "unhealthy" people. People that were in physically good shape were sent to the next room to be completely prepared for life in the camp and the old, very young, weak, sick, etc. were sent to the chambers to be gassed and immediately killed. Men and women were also seperated. Then people would be forced to strip their clothing and put on the uniforms provided. The uniforms were often filled with lice. Then their heads would be shaved and they would be sent to the barracks to begin work in the "labor camps."

No, Nazi's also send to concentration camps: communists, homosexuals, disabled, Russian prisoner's of war, gypsies, partisans. From 12 millions victims of Holocaust, 6 millions were Jews, 3 millions Russian prisoners of war, 3 million others.

There are two Auschwitz Camps: Auschwitz 1 and Auschwitz Birkenau

Auschwitz 1

Yes their were toilets, barracks style ones- they weren't particulalry good, but they weren't completley dreadful

Auschwitz Birkenau

Yes- there was a huge shed with a bench down the middle with holes in it. Appalling conditions, the toilets were completley open, so disease spread pretty quick

When first established in 1933 it was quite small and was established on the grounds of an ammunition factory. A few barracks were added to house both the prisoners and the guards and staff. It eventually grew to include 30 subcamps scattered across southern Germany. These subcamps were labor camps and were administered by the Dachau staff. At the time of liberation there were 67,665 prisoners listed as part of the camp system. Only 32,000 were actually liberated. During the 1933 to 1945 period, 188,000 had passed through it.

1) it was a concentration camp, not death camp.

2) of appx 144,000 prisoners, 33,000 died of starvation or disease there and 88,000 were shipped to death camps, primarily Auschwitz.

3) there were only 19,000 prisoners alive when the camp was liberated.

4) it was liberated may 8, 1945 by Soviet troops.

5) In February 1945, Heinrich Himmler (SS chief) allowed a transport of 1,210 mostly Dutch Jews to Switzerland. For this, 1.25million was put into Swiss banks by Jewish organizations.

Established in March 1933, the Dachau concentration camp was the first permanent concentration camp established by the National Socialist (Nazi) government. Heinrich Himmler, in his capacity as police chief of Munich, officially described the camp as the first concentration camp for political prisoners. It opened amid much publicity as it was intended as a deterrent to opponents of the regime.

The camp was housed in a disused munitions factory.

The first prisoners arrived at Dachau on 22 March 1933 and this is regarded as the opening date. Himmler gave a press conference about it at the time, and its existence was never a secret.

Initially Dachau was run by the SA, not specifically by the SS. Later, Dachau became the model for all ordinary Nazi concentration camps.

* Dachau - Near Munich, Bavaria. * Auschwitz I - Near Oswiemcim, about 40 miles SW of Krakow, Poland (then under Nazi occupation). * Birkenau was Auschwitz II and about 1 mile from Auschwitz I (see above). * Buchenwald was near Weimar, Thuringia. Dachau, Auschwitz I and Buchenwald also had several sub-camps, some of which was far away from the main camp.

Almost none, the crematoria at Dachau were not designed with any space for executions. Dachau itself was not an execution centre.

Dachau was in Bavaria, in Germany and held mainly Gentiles, the death camps were in Poland.

They consisted mainly of groups of wooden huts surrounded by electrified barbed wire fences. Spot lights at night with armed guards. The Germans had dogs for those that dared to try and escape and it didn't much matter to the German soldiers if the dog killed the prisoner or not. Food was scarce and what they received wasn't fit for a dog. They often went thirsty. They didn't have proper toilet facilities. The Germans would on occasion "delouse" the prisoners with disinfectants right in the middle of the yard of the concentration camp so men, women and children had no privacy.

Dachau was "opened" on March 22, 1933 when about 150 political prisoners were moved there from other prisons in the area. The SS moved in April and the next day the first prisoners were murdered.

Nothing much until 1971 when it was turned into Han's Dance und Disco.

Some Jews were immediently gassed upon arrival. However...

You would wake up and work, for example, carry anvils to make weapons for the war and get turnip soup and potato peels. There was very little room full of many people. You would sleep on bunks next to around 3 or 4 people. It was cold and you would be beaten if you didn't do something right but that's only if you're lucky. The smell of the dead was around, and disgusting.

When Jews were marching and someone stepped out of line they would be shot and then creamated; if you we're a child you would probably go straight to the gas chamber; if you were a woman [often] the same thing would happen; if you were a man you were more lucky if you worked in the end they still would have killed you. It was a devastating time.
