Many victims of the concentration camp in Dachau β 1,268 in all - were laid to rest in the Waldfriedhof Cemetery. The Jewish prisoners who died during the march to the camp are also buried here. There is a large monument on the site which remembers those Jews who suffered here, and also a monument to the Austrian victims of the camp. Another monument to the victims of the Dachau Uprising in 1945 can be found among the tombstones near the entrance.
PLEASE NOTE:
Unlike American cemeteries, due to lack of space, the "final" resting places in Germany are not eternal. The plots are usually leased (subscribed to) for a certain period of time (15-25 years). After that it depends on the descendants (or the community if it's a famous person) to finance another period of 15-25 years.
If no family is left, and the grave is old, the plot is cleaned and will be used for another burial.
There are four cemeteries in the jurisdiction of the city of Dachau in Bavaria (Germany). Those are
Alter (Stadt-) Friedhof
Dachau (Waldfriedhof)
Pellheim Cemetery
Etzenhausen Cemetery
