🏢 About the local organisation
Dachau was the first concentration camp built by Nazi Germany in March 1933. It was also used as a SS training centre. More than 200,000 people from all over Europe were imprisoned here. Many prisoners died as a result of terror, inhuman forced labour, diseases, exhaustion and hunger. The study camp will take place within the framework of the [nternational Youth Meeting’ (IYM) ](http://www.jugendbegegnung-dachau.de/?lang=en), which takes place since 1983 and hosts around 120 teenagers and young adults from about 20 nations every year.
💼 What the programme involves
In contrast to other workcamps, in this camp the main emphasis will be put on the studies. The volunteers will learn about the history of National Socialism through communication with survivors and through active participation in workshops. Current political situations will also be discussed.
