BERLIN — It is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Nazi Germany's Dachau concentration camp, and to commemorate, the Dachau memorial site north of Munich is dedicating a plaque in honor of the U.S. Army's 45th Infantry Division that first encountered more than 30,000 prisoners alive at the camp on April 29, 1945.

The memorial site will host several days of official remembrance at the location of the former concentration camp, where at least 40,000 people were killed or died of hunger and illness between 1933 and 1945. That will include a commemoration for the victims and religious services for Jewish, Protestant, Catholic, Greek and Russian Orthodox communities on Sunday.

Auschwitz survivors mark Holocaust Remembrance Day 80 years after liberation

Established on the grounds of an old gunpowder and ammunition factory in March 1933, Dachau was the longest operating concentration camp in the Holocaust. It was one of thousands of camps and other sites the Nazis used in the mass murder of more than 6 million Jews.

Don Greenbaum, a U.S. soldier interviewed by Germany's Der Spiegelmagazine in 2025, said he could not be prepared for the camp when a French minister showed him around.

"He showed me the machine-gun positions of the SS soldiers, the gas chamber and the crematorium. There were suitcases all around, and you could see piles of clothes," Greenbaum said.
