NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Dachau concentration camp (8128 words)
Dachau was a Nazi German concentration camp , and the first one opened in Germany, located on the grounds of an abandoned munitions factory near the medieval town of Dachau , about 16 km (10 miles) northwest of Munich in southern Germany. Opened on 22 March 1933 , the Dachau concentration camp was the first regular concentration camp established by the coalition government of National Socialist (Nazi) NSDAP party and the catholic Zentrum party (dissolved at 6 July 1933 ). On 29 April 1945 the watchtowers of the Dachau camp remained occupied and a white flag was hoisted.
Theatre in the German Concentration Camps (2132 words)
On the other hand, the larger camp of Buchenwald , with 25,000 prisoners, is quite different, or was, at least, during the writer's period of 'protective custody' when it contained both licensed and illicit theatrical activity. There was a big change in the camp entertainment, both political and non-political, on the arrival in May 1938 at Dachau of some thousands of Viennese, first victims of the Anschluss. The whole underlying idea of the theatrical activity of the Concentration Camps was obviously temporary release from the terrible reality of that life.
