In-Depth Information
Outside, in the former roll-call square, is the
International Memorial
(1968), inscribed
in English, French, Yiddish, German and Russian, which reads 'Never Again'. Behind the
exhibit building, the
bunker
was the notorious camp prison where inmates were tortured.
Executions took place in the prison yard.
Inmates were housed in large barracks, now demolished, which used to line the main
road north of the roll-call square. In the camp's northwestern corner is the
crematorium
and gas chamber, disguised as a shower room but never used. Several religious shrines,
including a timber Russian Orthodox church, stand nearby.
Dachau is about 16km northwest of central Munich. The S2 makes the trip from Mu-
nich Hauptbahnhof to the station in Dachau in 21 minutes. You'll need a two-zone ticket
(€5). Here change to bus 726 (direction Saubachsiedlung) to get to the camp. Show your
stamped ticket to the driver. By car, follow Dachauer Strasse straight out to Dachau and
follow the KZ-Gedenkstätte signs.
