How many people were held in dachau?

Answer 1

Dachau was the first of the concentration camps to be opened by Nazi's in Germany. There was a continuous population of at least 12,000 people held at the camps between 1942 and 1945. There were an estimated 32,000 killed while interred at or brought to the camp for the purpose of extermination.

Answer 2

Hard to know considering that with every camp, more and more people arrived and were subsequently killed.

Estimates to the peak number of prisoners was merely in the hundreds. How many people died there was a little over 3500. Dachau had little involvement with the Holocaust.

Answer 3

Dachau was one of the best known Nazi concentration camps. Despite its notoriety, conditions there were generally better than at most other camps. It seems that about 200,000 inmates entered Dachau and its sub-camps, and about 35,000 perished. This does not necessarily mean that all the others survived the holocaust as some were transferred to other camps. The surprisingly high number of prisoners who emerged alive is partly due to the fact that it was the first of the permanent Nazi concentration camps, and in the early years of Nazi regime it was above all a punishment camp for political opponents. Quite a number of these were released. Note that Dachau was a concentration camp, not an extermination camp like Auschwitz II, Treblinka II or Belzec.

Answer 4

According to the German Wikipedia, about 200,000 prisoners were sent to Dachau, of whom just over 32,000 were killed. (It had a relatively low Death Rate among the Nazi concentration camps).

Answer 5

Only 50,000
