Dachau was the first permanent Nazi concentration camp and operated from March 1933 till April 1945. However, it was primarily for political oponents of the Nazi regime, not for Jews. In the later stages, however, many Jews from camps in Nazi-occupied Poland were transferred to camps in central and western Germany, including Dachau.
