Pictures of Dachau

As part of the Munich trip I went on last year, the professor took us to Dachau for a day. While there we were walked around the camp and eventually went to the museum. Toward the end of our visit, the professor introduced us to the archivist of the Dachau museum. During our visit, the archivist showed us some artifacts that people have donated to the museum.


Entrance into Dachau












At the entrance into the camp, this plaque was placed commemorating the US troops that liberated the camp. There were other plaques similar to this around Dachau.








This picture was taken during our visit with the archivist. A man donated this shirt who actually wore it during his time at Dachau. The red triangle on the shirt identified him with one of the many ethnicities that were present at Dachau.






These are examples of art that the workers made while they were at the camp. The archivist told us that these sculptures were made out of bread dough and are very fragile. The sculpture on the right is a candle stick holder.



Above the shirt are the shoes that one of the workers wore during his stay in Dachau.
