Clergy Prisoners in Dachau

This guided tour focuses on the spiritual prisoners held at the Dachau Concentration Camp. From 1940, over 2,700 spiritual leaders from across Europe were deported to Dachau. Their experiences significantly shaped the camp's history and the development of the later memorial site. The tour highlights the varied treatment of prisoners by the SS based on nationality, particularly evident in the high mortality rate of 1,800 Polish clergy. The walk guides attendees through significant locations related to their stories. The guide is Frank Schleicher, a deacon at the Protestant Church of Reconciliation at the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site.
