How do the residents of Dachau feel about the former Nazi concentration camp in their town?
The townspeople of Dachau feel resentful that Dachau is the only town in Germany that has been demonized and defamed because a Nazi concentration camp was formerly located there. They resent being made to feel guilty about something over which they had no control. While the camp was in operation, most of the townspeople were not members of the Nazi political party and they were sympathetic to the prisoners, who were mainly Communist and Social Democrat political prisoners.
