22/03/1933: Dachau Concentration Camp Established
On 22 March 1933, less than three months after Adolf Hitler was appointed German Chancellor, the first concentration camp of the Nazi regime was established in the town of Dachau about 10 miles northwest of Munich. Dachau was originally intended as a camp for “political prisoners” such as communists, trade unionists and other political opponents of the Nazis. This was soon extended to include Jehovah’s Witnesses, Roma and Sinti (Gypsies) and gay men.
