Statement on the article “Gedächtnisschwund” by Helmut Zeller, published in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, March 22, 2013
The Dachau
Concentration Camp Memorial Site has seen with great regret that the Süddeutsche Zeitung did not take the
anniversary of such an important historical event like the opening of the
Dachau concentration camp on March 22, 1933 as an opportunity to delve somewhat
deeper into the history of the first political prisoners, choosing instead to
publish a poorly researched article, plainly incorrect in several places and
given to misunderstanding, on the Memorial Site’s alleged silence on the fate
of the communist prisoners in the Dachau camp.

Digital version of the “Book of Remembrance for the Victims of the Dachau Concentration Camp”
The Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site presented the result of an extensive research
project: “The Book of Remembrance for the Victims of the Dachau Concentration Camp”. Names and other
biographical information of those
who died in the Dachau Concentration Camp were collected for the book. Of the more than 40,000 dead,
over 33,000 victims, coming from nearly forty nations, can now be called
by their name - far more than originally was anticipated possible.
The digital version of the “Book of Remembrance for the Victims of the Dachau Concentration Camp" is accessible
for all visitors at two terminals in the
commemoration room of the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site.
