Histories Of The Holocaust: Dachau - Liberation And Retribution

The inhuman brutality and bloodshed that was endemic at Dachau - Nazi Germany's first concentration camp - did not come to an end with its 1945 liberation, for this dread place proved capable of triggering a spate of vengeful retaliation not only by its half-crazed prisoners, but their rescuers. Chapels of various faiths, memorials and sculptures now mark the camp's sites of execution and torture.
