This place is connected to a wider Schild surname story, not a confirmed part of our direct family line.

Dachau, near Munich, was the site of the first Nazi concentration camp, opened in 1933. Erwin Schild was imprisoned there from November 12 to December 13, 1938, at the age of eighteen, following the November pogrom and his arrest in Würzburg.
This page describes the place as it connects to Erwin’s own documented month there, drawn from the camp memorial’s own Remembrance Book, rather than attempting a general history of the camp as a whole.
