Experience the History of Football in the Dachau Concentration Camp

The thematic tour 'Football in the Dachau Concentration Camp' offers a unique opportunity to learn more about the role of sports within the concentration camp system. This historical tour begins at the visitor center of the Dachau Memorial Site and sheds light on the importance of sports for the prisoners. Football, as one of the few permitted leisure activities, played a crucial role in the daily lives of many inmates and helped to provide them with a sense of normality.

During this tour, not only the organizational aspects of sports events in the camp will be addressed, but also the personal stories of individual detainees. Special attention will be paid to the physical and psychological effects of football in the camp context. The tour is part of the broader educational program for remembrance in Dachau, which aims to raise awareness of history and human fates.

Participants can look forward to an informative and emotionally stimulating afternoon that connects the complexity of everyday life and survival in the Dachau concentration camp with an everyday theme like football.
