This walk at Dachau might at first seem quite pleasant and peaceful. Formerly in a walled off part of the compound, this is now known as the ‘path of death’, it was laid out in the 1960s when the site was turned into a memorial and museum.
However, it isn’t, it’s located near the site’s crematorium and this is the former pistol range where inmates were executed. There were numerous places around the camp where people were executed and it’s not known how many prisoners died here.
The execution range with the blood ditch.
Where ashes were stored.
The little memorial garden where the ashes of thousands of people were placed.
