Germany 🇩🇪 - Konzentrationslager Dachau

· Travel,Germany

達豪集中營(德語: Konzentrationslager(KZ) Dachau)坐落在南德巴伐利亞邦的首府 — 慕尼黑的附近,是納粹德國建立的第一個集中營,於1933.03.22啟用。每個集中營的入口都會寫著「Arbeit macht frei」,意思就是勞動帶來自由。

Dachau concentration camp(German: Konzentrationslager(KZ) Dachau) is located in the suburb of Munich, the capital of the state of Bavaria. It’s the first concentration camp built by Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, so called Nazi, and was opened in 03.22.1933. In the entrance of the concentration camp has a slogan, “Arbeit macht frei”. It means work makes you free.

一直以來就聽說過德國對於納粹黨於二戰時屠殺猶太人的事實不但不掩飾還要求必須讓每個德國人知道,當時德國做錯了。來到這裡我才充分明白原來這不是傳聞是真的。一開始來到集中營租用語音導覽,提供的語言就多達13種,雖然說有四五種左右是東歐語言(由於當時在集中營被屠殺的猶太人很大一部份來自東歐,所以才提供特別多種東歐語言給東歐國家去深入了解),但還是足以看出德國不但沒有想要掩飾這個事實,反而還讓來這裡的人可以了解德國曾經做錯了甚麼。

Long time ago, I have heard about Germany never wanted to cover up the holocaust, instead, they wanted to educate whole German that Germany did something wrong during world war II. Now I know it is the truth. Dachau concentration camp provided up to 13 different kind of languages audio guide. It is really impressive since it means Germany wants to show people visiting here that what they did in the past.

其實集中營一開始的用處不是拿來屠殺猶太人,而是關押犯人用的。但由於戰事吃緊,納粹德國必須開始節省開銷後才開始大屠殺的。希特勒的納粹德國在二戰時屠殺超過600萬個猶太人,其中這個集中營曾經關押過超過二十萬人,其中三萬多人死於這個集中營之中。而管理集中營的德軍則是著名的武裝親衛隊,Waffen-SS(Die Waffen Schutzstaffel)。

In the beginning, the concentration camp was not used to murder the Jews, but used as the jail. As the world war II becoming more and more serious, Nazi started to killed people living in the camp. Adolf Hitler’s Nazi killed more than 6 million Jews during world war II, and more than 200 thousand people were imprisoned in Dachau. More than 30 thousand of them died. The controller of the concentration camp was Waffen-ss(Die Waffen Schutzstaffel).

這個集中營保留了當時的主要建築,以及重建的集中營營房。這張照片中間的白色建築是當時的瞭望台,用來看是否有猶太人想要越獄集中營。白色建築的左邊有個黑色的小橋,這是因為有一條小型護城河擋在營區與外面。而右邊一根一根的木頭是用來撐起電網的支柱,這也是電影中常看到的通電流刺網,這也是想逃離集中營的第二道門檻。再往更後面看有一道大約三公尺的城牆,上面一樣裝有流刺網,基本上跑過這應該就算成功逃離集中營了。

Here remained the main building during WWII, and the rebuilt Barracks. We can see the lookout in the middle of the picture, which was used to monitor Jews. On the left side of the white lookout is a black bridge, since between the camp and the outside has a moat. On the right side, we can see the electric charged and barbed wire fence, which was used to prevent someone who wanted to escape from the camp.

但逃離集中營的難度非常高,像這座集中營總共有六座瞭望台,全方位由電網圍繞。而在你跑進護城河之前會先經過照片中的草地,踏上草地就代表德軍可以對你開槍了,所以大多數想越獄的人不是死於掃射就是被電網電死,真正逃出去的人是少之又少。

It was almost impossible to escape from the camp, and the reason is in this camp, they had six lookouts, and whole camp was surrounded by the perimeter fence. Besides, before you arrived the moat, you needed to enter the grass area first. When people entered the grass area, it meant the German army could shoot on you. Therefore, most of them who wanted to escape would die under bullets or electric charged wire fence.

除了瞭望台跟住宅之外,這裡也保存了當時的火葬場跟毒氣室,只是在看過辛德勒名單跟美麗人生後實在覺得不該在這些地方拍照,在這裡的感觸以及所看到的歷史意義與價值是無法用照片來衡量的。二戰時期每個月都有上百人固定死在這個地方,如此黑暗的歷史德國卻從不加以掩飾,反而還要全世界的人不能忘記這件事,唯有如此才不會有下一個納粹德國吧!

Except to the lookout and barracks, here also remained the crematorium and gassing room. After watching the Schindlers Liste and Das Leben ist schön, I think it is not suitable to take the photo here. The feeling and the historical meaning cannot be recorded in the photo. During world war II, more than hundreds of people would die in Dachau every month. Instead of covering up such horrible and dark ages, Germany wants to educate every German and all human beings that we cannot forget this history. Maybe because only in this way our world will not be another Nazi!

也許是因為現在我多少能夠閱讀些德文的關係吧,很多留在集中營裡的標語跟原始錄音檔我都能夠多少理解,因此也對集中營的感觸更深更複雜了一些。

Maybe since I can understand some German now and comprehend part of slogans and audio files, the concentration camp makes me feel deeper and more complicated.
