Terrifying theft: historical artifacts from the former crematorium stolen

historical objects stolen from the Dachau concentration camp memorial: a shock for the community

The recent disappearance of historical components from the concentration camp memorial in Dachau has shaken deeply. Unknown perpetrators not only stolen a shower head from the former crematorium, but also stolen the door bar of the rear northern door of the former gas chamber. These thefts tear on the historical wounds of the past and leave a feeling of horror.

The shower head, which served as a dummy, was violently torn from its metal version in the ceiling, while the door bar of the gas chamber also disappeared without a trace. These thefts not only caused material damage, but also shaken confidence in the safety and protection of the memorial.

The Bavarian police have commissioned the specialist commissioner for state protection offices from the Fürstenfeldbruck criminal police inspection with the investigation. Witnesses who have made suspicious observations are asked to report on 08141-612-0 to help clarify these horrific incidents.

The theft of historical objects from a concentration camp memorial is not only a crime against property, but also an act of disrespect against the victims of National Socialism. The municipality of Dachau is deeply horrified by these shameful actions and hopes for a rapid clarification to get the stolen objects back and to maintain the memory of the victims in dignity.
