train tracks at Dachau

Tracks on the right, near the entrance to Dachau camp

Many visitors to the Dachau Memorial site assume that the tracks near the entrance were used to bring train loads of Jews right up to the Arbeit Macht Frei gate.  Unfortunately, I didn’t bother to take a close-up of these tracks because I didn’t anticipate that so many bloggers would mistakenly write about the prisoners arriving at the camp on trains.
