The Dachau Memorial Site not only features a captivating exhibition, but they also fully reconstructed two of the Barracks,
long wooden houses where the prisoners lived. One of these Barracks is open to visitors. This photo shows the toilets.

With the rise of the Nazi regime, their need for camp space increased as well. So they stacked the beds to get more prisoners
into the tiny rooms.
|



This tiny room, for example, held 6x4x3 = 72 beds in total, and there were several bedrooms rooms in a Barrack.
At a total of 34 Barracks you can easily see the number of prisoners going into the thousands.

This is the view a prisoner would see when going to sleep at night. Of course, he had to listen to the noises of the
71 co-prisoners in his bedroom.

Unfortunately, not every visitor understands that the Memorial Site is not just any tourist attraction.
Here, I found a "signature" on one of the beds in the restored Barrack. I wonder what is going on with
these kids (I guess it must be kids who damage a memorial site like this)?

But there are positive examples as well. Here is a class in one of the locker rooms, listening
to their teacher talking about the daily life in the Concentration Camp and its Draconian punishments
for even the smallest failures. Later on, the pupils would ask several questions out of genuine interest,
trying to understand what happened at the Camp.

Here's a detail of a locker at the locker room.
