10 nov 1938 anni - Dachau Concentration Camp

Descrizione:

The Dachau concentration camp was established in March 1933. It was the first regular concentration camp established by the National Socialist (Nazi) government. Heinrich Himmler, as police president of Munich, officially described the camp as "the first concentration camp for political prisoners." It was located on the grounds of an abandoned munitions factory near the northeastern part of the town of Dachau, about 10 miles northwest of Munich in southern Germany.

The number of Jewish prisoners at Dachau rose with the increased persecution of Jews and on November 10–11, 1938, in the aftermath of Kristallnacht, more than 10,000 Jewish men were interned there. (Most of the men in this group were released after the incarceration of a few weeks to a few months, many after proving they had made arrangements to emigrate from Germany.)
