Dachau concentration camp was the first Nazi concentration camp built after Hitler came to power in 1933. Holding political opponents, Jews, homosexuals, and members of Roma communities, the camp recorded over 32,000 deaths between 1933 and 1945, with many more undocumented deaths. After the end of World War II it held former SS officers who were awaiting trial, then it served as a military base for the USA before being closed in 1960. Since then it has been developed into a place of education, reflection, and remembrance for all visitors, who can visit the buildings still standing and pause at the memorials to those who died.
