Reconciliation theme at Dachau ceremony May 1995
Dachau survivors from at least 16 countries gathered for a 50th anniversary commemoration in Dachau where about 2,000 attendees carried national flags and badges marking Nazi camp categories. They spoke of reconciliation, with Elie Wiesel sending a message on memory. Bavarian Governor Stoiber praised liberating troops and urged remembrance as warning, as survivors emphasized hope over hatred and thanked U.S. troops. Ninety-two wreaths honored the camp’s 30,000 dead. Dachau, the first Nazi camp, is a large priests' cemetery with 1,106 priest deaths among 2,800 held there.
