Europe : Central Europe : Germany : Bavaria : Dachau
Dachau, [1] is a city with about 40,000 citizens in Bavaria, Germany and has a history of more than 1,200 years. During the world war II, Dachau had a Nazi concentration camp. This has cast a pall over the rest of this small and pleasant town on the outskirts of Munich. Dachau served as a staging ground to ship prisoners to Eastern death camps in Poland and elsewhere, though 32,000 people were killed there directly.
Today Dachau has a big cultural scene and maintains the concentration camp as a memorial to it's dark history.
