On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Dachau concentration camp, a memorial plaque will be dedicated to the U.S. Army's 45th Infantry Division, which encountered over 30,000 prisoners on April 29, 1945. The Dachau memorial site north of Munich will host commemorative events remembering the at least 40,000 victims of the camp, which operated from 1933 to 1945. Survivor stories highlight the horror witnessed upon liberation, contributing to the ongoing need to remember and educate about the Holocaust.
"The war was over a week later. But I will never forget Dachau. I still remember that horrible odor."
