Propaganda and the concentration camp

The horrors of the Nazi concentration camps are now well known worldwide. Yet the concentration camps had started their brutal operation well before the WW2. The Dachau concentration camp, set up just a few months after the takeover of power, will be the starting point of increased violence and crime. How much did the outside world know at the time? In this online guided tour, we will look at a few locations of the Memorial and try and answer this question with the aid of original documents and photographs.
