The Dachau camp is considered a symbol of all the Nazi concentration camps because of what happened there, and is enshrined in the public memory - it was the first Nazi concentration camp, and served as a prototype and model for other camps, and the second which was released by British and American forces. On April 29, 1945, the Dachau concentration camp was officially liberated by the American army, which accepted the surrender of the camp commander Heinrich Weicker and released the prisoners. Dachau was one of the first concentration camps whose atrocities were exposed to the world in the media, in first-hand journalistic reports and through the news dailies. Of the 200,000 prisoners who passed through it in its 12 years of existence, an estimated 30,000 perished. In the crematoria built outside the camp fences, the bodies of prisoners who died in the camp were burned. הי"ד.
