„The Dachau Concentration Camp" (2021, color, 38 min) is a film about the history of the Dachau concentration camp and its aftermath from 1945 until today, developed and realized by Clemens von Wedemeyer, Maya Schweizer and Benjamin Meyer-Krahmer in cooperation with the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site. With the central question "How can we form a picture today of what happened back then?" the film invites us to approach the complex topic.

Also shown will be the film "KZ Dachau" (1969, b/w, 21 min), which will be replaced by the newly made film in the permanent exhibition of the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial. Following the screenings, film scholar Gertrud Koch will discuss questions about the different approaches and conceptions of both films with the three filmmakers and the audience.
