Dachau concentration camp, established in 1933, held tens of thousands of prisoners at its peak. At various times during its operation, the number of inmates fluctuated significantly, reaching around 30,000 to 35,000 prisoners by 1945. The camp was primarily used for political prisoners, Jews, and other groups deemed undesirable by the Nazi regime. Overall, over 200,000 individuals were imprisoned at Dachau throughout its existence.
It was actually Dachau Concentration Camp, and a total of 31,951 deaths. 25,334 of them Jews.
# Dachau was the first Nazi concentration camp to open (22 March 1933) # It was used mainly as a punishment and forced labour camp for various 'dissidents', in particular, Communists, Social Democrats, liberals and later clergymen. # Dachau was used as the main centre for training concentration camp personnel and became the 'model' for most later camps. # It was a Grade I camp. In very general terms this meant that prisoners were somewhat better fed there than at many other camps. # When the Americans were close to the camp, the SS tried to evacuate many of the prisoners on a forced march.
Dachau and Auschwitz were two well-known concentration camps of the many that Nazi Germany opened. Dachau was ostensibly a detention camp for dissenters and "political prisoners", but many, many people died there. Auschwitz was an outright death camp, where people were sent to be killed by "annihilation by work", or by being sent directly to the gas chambers.
In the Dachau concentration camp, multiple prisoners were often crammed into a single room, with around 30 to 50 people typically assigned to each barrack. The overcrowded conditions meant that many inmates slept on narrow wooden bunks, often with little room to move and limited access to basic sanitation. This contributed to the spread of disease and harsh living conditions within the camp.

Contrary to a widespread misconception, Dachau was not an extermination camp ..."Over its twelve years as a concentration camp, the Dachau administration recorded the intake of 206,206 prisoners and 31,951 deaths. Crematoria were constructed to dispose of the deceased" (Source: Wikipedia article on Dachau, accessed on 9 November 2010).Most of the Jews who were killed at Dachau were sent there as political prisoners and not primarily because they were Jews.
