📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The KZ Dachau was the first concentration camp built by Nazi Germany in March 1933. It was also used as a SS training center. More than 200,000 people from all over Europe were imprisoned here. Many prisoners died as a result of terror, inhuman forced labor, diseases, exhaustion, and hunger. The study camp will take place within the framework of the ‘International Youth Meeting’ (IYM), which takes place since 1983 and hosts around 120 teenagers and young adults from about 20 nations every year. In contrast to other workcamps, the main emphasis will be put on the studies in the camp.
