The Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site is a powerful place to learn about the horrors of the Holocaust and the importance of remembering history. The Goal of the activity is to help them understand the impact of the Nazi regime on Europe and the world, and foster international understanding and cooperation. The activity also aims to provide historical and civic education while fostering international encounters, and is dedicated to the memory of the victims of Nazi persecution.
The activity was published with the following description:
"The Concentration Camp Dachau was inaugurated only a few weeks after the Nazis took over governmental power in January 1933, and served as a model to all later camps. On this sobering trip, we will visit the site and get a lasting impression of the daily life there.
