Liberation of Dachau

• See Dachau Database

Overview

In the last year and months of the war many Jews arrived in Dachau. Some were transferred to other camps, some remained at Dachau and its numerous sub-camps. Although many of them perished, some survived. As a result, among the children liberated at Dachau, there were also several Jews.
