Transcript And Dauchau is a Nazi concentration Camp.

DAUCHAU
QUYNN
Nazi concentration camps were created soon after
Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany in 1933.
Nazi camps held socialists, Communists, and other
political prisoners; Jews; homosexuals; priests and
ministers; and many others. After World War II
started in September 1939, the Nazis increasingly
used camp inmates for slave labor.
And Dauchau is a Nazi concentration Camp.
DAUCHAU IS A OLD CITY OF
GERMANY.
• Was the first permanent
concentration camp set up in
Germany by the Nazi
government. It became the model
for all other Nazi concentration
camps.
• The facility stood at the edge of
the town of Dachau, near
Munich, in southeastern
Germany.
• Opened on March 22, 1933.

WHO WAS INVOLVED?
• Adolf Hitler ( 20 April 1889 – 30
April 1945) was an Austrian-born
German politician and the leader
of the Nazi Party; National
Socialist German Workers Party.
He was chancellor of Germany
from 1933 to 1945 and dictator of
Nazi Germany from 1934 to
1945. He was at the centre of the
founding of Nazism, World War
II, and the Holocaust.
Adolf Hitler.
• The National Socialist
German Workers'
Party , commonly
known in English as
the Nazi Party, was a
political party in
Germany between
1920 and 1945.
NAZI GOVERNMENT
• The party was founded out of the
far-right racist völkisch German
nationalist movement and the
violent anti-communist Freikorps
paramilitary culture that fought
against the uprisings of
communist revolutionaries in
post-World War I Germany. In
1930s the party's focus shifted to
anti-Semitic and anti-Marxist
themes.
NAZI GOVERNMENT
The Jews, also known as the Jewish people, are a nation
and an ethno religious group, originating in the Israelites
and Hebrews of the Ancient Near East. They were the
victims of the Nazi government.
THE JEWS
The Allies of World War II were the countries that opposed
the Axis powers during the Second World War (1939–1945).
The Allies became involved in World War II either because
they had already been invaded, were directly threatened with
invasion by the Axis or because they were concerned that
the Axis powers would come to control the world.

WHEN DID IT HAPPEN ?
• In early 1937, the SS, using prisoner labor, initiated
construction of a large complex of buildings on the grounds
of the original camp.
• 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.
START…..
• Starting from the end of 1944 up to the day of liberation,
15,000 people died, about half of all victims in KZ
Dachau.
• On April 26, 1945, American forces approached.
• On April 29, 1945, United States liberated the camp.

WHY ?
The Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler wanted to eliminate all
Jews as part of his aim to conquer the world.
• The Nazis glorified the Germans and other northern
European peoples, whom they called Aryans. They
claimed that Jews, Slavs, and other minority groups
were inferior. Nazism opposed democracy,
Communism, socialism, feminism, and other political
systems and movements that claimed to favor equality.

WHAT HAPPEN ?
German doctors performed cruel medical experiments on
many prisoners at Dachau, and the SS used thousands of
other prisoners as forced laborers in and around the
camp. The SS built crematoriums (furnaces for burning
human remains) to handle the high volume of deaths
within the camp.
Prisoners underwent “selection”; those who were judged
too sick or weak to continue working were sent to the
Hartheim “euthanasia” killing center near Linz, Austria.
Several thousand Dachau prisoners were murdered at
Hartheim. Further, the SS used the firing range and the
gallows in the crematoria area as killing sites for prisoners.
German physicians performed
medical experiments on prisoners,
including high-altitude
experiments using a
decompression chamber, malaria
and tuberculosis experiments,
hypothermia experiments, and
experiments testing new
medications. Prisoners were also
forced to test methods of making
seawater potable and of halting
excessive bleeding. Hundreds of
prisoners died or were
permanently crippled as a result of
these experiments.
In this photo, which
was taken at Dachau in
1942, a clearly
weakened prisoner is in
a compression
chamber. This
experiment was
designed to see how
long pilots could live
without oxygen. This
man was one of the
hundreds who died at
Dachau as a direct
effect of the medical
experiments.
The freezing / hypothermia
experiments were
conducted for the Nazi high
command. The experiments
were conducted on men to
simulate the conditions the
armies suffered on the
Eastern Front.
Freezing / Hypothermia
The two main methods used to freeze the victim were to put
the person in a icy vat of water or to put the victim outside
naked in sub-zero temperatures.
The icy vat method proved to be the fastest way to drop the
body temperature. The selections were made of young
healthly Jews or Russians. The second way to freeze a victim
was to strap them to a stretcher and place them outside naked.
The extreme winters of Auschwitz made a natural place for
this experiment.
The resuscitation or warming experiments were just as cruel
and painful as the freezing experiments.
Dachau prisoners were used as forced
laborers. At first, they were employed
in the operation of the camp, in various
construction projects, and in small
handicraft industries established in the
camp. Prisoners built roads, worked in
gravel pits, and drained marshes.
During the war, forced labor utilizing
concentration camp prisoners became
increasingly important to German
armaments production.
HOW DID IT
END… … ..!
• April 26, 1945 - Death March to Tegernsee - Just three days
before the liberation of the Dachau camp, the SS forces about 7,000
prisoners on a death march from Dachau south to Tegernsee.
During the six-day death march, the SS shoots anyone who cannot
keep up or continue marching. Many others die of exposure,
hunger, or exhaustion. The surviving prisoners will arrive in
Tegernsee on May 2, 1945, where American forces liberate them.
• April 29, 1945 - US Forces Liberate Camp - American forces
liberate the Dachau concentration camp. As they neared the camp,
they found more than 30 coal cars filled with decomposing bodies
at Dachau. American soldiers discover more than 30,000
prisoners in the camp. There were more than 200,000 registered
prisoners during the history of the camp. Of these, more than
30,000 died. Because thousands more prisoners arrived and died
in the camp without being registered, the total number of victims
remains unknown.
