  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Dachau concentration camp
Dachau was a Nazi German concentration camp, and the first one opened in Germany, located on the grounds of an abandoned munitions factory near the medieval town of Dachau, about 16 km (10 miles) northwest of Munich in southern Germany.
Opened on 22 March 1933, the Dachau concentration camp was the first regular concentration camp established by the coalition government of National Socialist (Nazi) NSDAP party and the catholic Zentrum party (dissolved at 6 July 1933).
On 29 April 1945 the watchtowers of the Dachau camp remained occupied and a white flag was hoisted.

 Theatre in the German Concentration Camps
On the other hand, the larger camp of Buchenwald, with 25,000 prisoners, is quite different, or was, at least, during the writer's period of 'protective custody' when it contained both licensed and illicit theatrical activity.
There was a big change in the camp entertainment, both political and non-political, on the arrival in May 1938 at Dachau of some thousands of Viennese, first victims of the Anschluss.
The whole underlying idea of the theatrical activity of the Concentration Camps was obviously temporary release from the terrible reality of that life.

 Auschwitz
The Auschwitz concentration camp complex was subordinate to the Inspectorate of Concentration Camps.
Until March 1942, the Inspectorate of Concentration Camps was an agency of the SS Main Office, and, from 1941, of the SS Operations Main Office.
The camp included sections for women, men, a family camp for Roma (Gypsies) deported from Germany, Austria and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, and a family camp for Jewish families deported from the Theresienstadt ghetto.

 Concentration Camps | Schindler's List DVD
During World War II, many concentration camps were built and utilized by the German Nazi forces to house, enslave and kill Jews and all other subjugated persons and ethnicities under Nazi reign.
Concentration camps were essentially prisons where the Nazi regime sent millions of people deemed dangerous or threatening including the disabled, diseased and sick, Jews and other non-German minorities.
Although there were killings carried out at labor camps, many of the victims were sent to death camps from labor camps after they were determined to be useless to the labor force.

In the vicinity of other concentration camps, for instance the Buchenwald and Oranienburg camps, gardens have been laid out and factories built where the prisoners are employed as slaves, but there seem to be no such arrangements at Stutthof.
In all the concentration camps, even in the Stutthof camp, the lice are a dangerous and very perceptible plague, and the Germans do not do enough to combat this danger.
The mortality percentage in the Stutthof camp is, however, rather low, but the danger of epidemics is very great as the Germans have stowed in up to 450 men in dormitories intended for 200 men.

 How Many Jews Died in the German Concentration Camps?
It is well known that the majority of those who were interned in the German concentration camps during part of the Second World War did not return to their homes after liberation.
As for the Jewish population in general, the total number of camp deaths would be contained within Sanning's category "Jews missing in the German sphere of influence." This number of "missing" turns out to be 304,000, according to Sanning's primary method of calculating.
The general magnitude was certainly half a million, but the actual number of Jews who died in the German concentration camps might well have been as low as 300,000 or as high as 600,000.
