Death Marches
Of the Holocaust
A view of the death march from
Dachau passing through villages in
the direction of Wolfratshausen.
German civilians secretly
photographed several death marches
from the Dachau concentration camp
as the prisoners moved slowly
through the Bavarian
Major death marches and
evacuations, 1944-1945
Prisoners being evacuated from Dachau
concentration camp walk along a street in
Gruenwald on a forced march to an
unknown destination. April 1945.
Another view of the march. Prisoners received little aid from
people in towns they passed through, and in some cases were
harassed and assaulted.
