The Nazi regime has left an indelible sign in our consciences and anchors today the places where the "executioners" Nazi have broken thousand of human life can be visited, among these there is the concentration camp of Dachau, situated in the immediate proximities of the small German town of Dachau, to north of Munich of Baviera. The field was built on the ruins of an old factory and finished the 21 March of 1933, it was the first concentration camp of the Nazi regime, it was taken as model for the realization of the other fields of extermination placed in other parts of Europe. The field was of rectangular form of around 300 meters width and 600 meters length.

The gate of entry, brought the writing "Arbeit macht frei", the job makes free, the greatest lie that was told all the prisoners that crossed the railing of the concentration camp, was a hope to which initially stuck, hocking themselves to work hard, not knowing what their liberty would have gotten only in the moment in which they would be been  to execute. In the field there was the "bunker", a kind of jail where the prisoners had to be firm standing for a lot of times, there was then the square of the appeal that developed twice a day to the morning and the evening. Initially were confined in the field of Dachau the political opponents of Hitler, that is those people that didn't accept and they didn't sustain the "absurd" ideologies of the Nazism.

Subsequently were also deported to its inside the Hebrews and so many other ethnic minorities, against which the Nazism showed intransigent. The organization of the field was given to the commander Theodor Eicke, that showed great "ability", that allowed him to be named "Inspector head of the concentration camps." From 1941 the field further to be used for making to develop to the prisoners of the very hard jobs, it was used for "to exterminate" people's thousand. In 1945 it was evacuated because to its inside it spread the typhus, that killed many prisoners. When the field reached the peak of its "activity" other ovens crematory and different gases rooms were built, because people's number to be killed increased notably.

To Dachau were imprisoned around 3.000 religious Christians, among which priests and bishops. The liberation of the field was work of the 45° Division of infantry USA that April 29 th 1945 stormed in the field freeing the prisoners. From some testimonies since that time it is said, that the Americans when they came into the play to free the prisoners from the SS, they found a gruesome situation, that they were not waited, people's thousand reduced to living skeletons, bodies of corpses piled up in the different zones of the field, dying children, and it is said that they gave life to the "massacre of Dachau", to avenge those poor broken lives, began to kill all the watches one to one. The victims verified of the concentration camp of Dachau were around 30.000.   

To cross the gate and to come into the play a very strange situation there is seemed, to walk where around 60 years ago thousand of people have walked "innocent" toward their death, this has aroused in us strong emotions, of anguish and of sadness for all the innocent corpses in the field and a sort of hate towards who a massacre of this course has made possible.
