Our Guide, Sam is very knowledge and shared all his knowledge with our group of 22 people. We met some nice people in our group. The Dachau Concentration Camp Tour was extensive. We were allowed free time to look around different areas of the camp, read stories and Sam shared photos with us. He told us of the story when he met a past prisoner. Although very sad and heart wrenching everyone needs to see and learn.
Located approximately 16 kilometers to the northwest of Munich, the Dachau concentration camp was opened by the chief architect of the Holocaust, Heinrich Himmler. Liberated more than 78 years back, the concentration camp continues to be maintained well for tourists from across the world.
