Initially planned to hold political prisoners, it soon became a model for all other concentration camps. It also served as a training center for the SS: the “school of violence”. Over the years the Dachau concentration camp grew to a system of nearly 100 sub‐camps. In its twelve years of existence more than 200.000 people from all over Europe were imprisoned and approximately 41.500 are estimated to have been killed.
