display panel with text and a photograph
Short Termdisplay panel with text and a photograph. The text, in German and English, describes "Work, Life and Death" in the Dachau concentration camp between 1941 and 1942. It details the dire conditions, including murder, terror, hunger, disease, and a typhus epidemic, exacerbated by SS measures. The text mentions that prisoners were allowed food and clothing packages and that work incentives were introduced, but the mortality rate did not decrease until 1943. It also states that by the end of 1944, the number of prisoners in the Dachau complex rose from approximately 10,000 at the end of 1942 to over 63,000. The photograph is a black and white image of several emaciated men in striped prison uniforms, some of whom appear to be looking out of small openings, possibly in barracks or transport vehicles. Their faces show signs of hardship. The display is located in a museum or exhibition space, with a textured floor and a concrete wall visible in the background. The city of Dachau, Germany, is referenced in the text as the location of this concentration camp.
