Separate camps and compounds were set up exclusively for female prisoners who were considered strong enough for labor projects and menial chores.

The largest women’s camp was Ravensbrück (near Berlin), where nearly 120,000 women from across Europe were sent. An estimated 50,000 women died there between 1939 and 1945. A special women’s section was also created in Auschwitz-Birkenau, where 34,000 women died between 1942 and 1943.
The Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site is offering a special view on the area of the former Concentration Camp.
Our online guided tours on facebook take you on a 45 minutes journey and discuss different topics of the history of the camp and the Memorial Site. We try to answer questions live during the tour on our facebook page, where the stream starts at 4 p.m.
