The corridor of Dachau bunker with isolation cells where prisoners were tortured

The corridor of the "bunker," the prison within Dachau concentration camp. Behind the iron bars opens a distressing perspective of doors leading to isolation cells. In this building, prisoners were subjected to torture and special punishments: dark cells without windows, cells too small to lie down in, cells where one could only stand. "Special" prisoners were also imprisoned here, such as Protestant pastor Martin Niemoller and Austrian political leader Kurt Schuschnigg. The information panel on the left documents the history of this place of horror.
