Virtual barracks, Dachau, 20170527

On the left and right, there used to be barracks in which the prisoners stayed. They had 34 of them in total. KZ Dachau was initially designed to house 5000 people but at its peak in 1944, it housed ten-thousands. Today, only two baracks are left (near the main court). Others were demolished in 1964. Maintenance cost to keep all of them would be too high.
