Liberation of Dachau sub-camps
Survivors of Ampfing
sub-camp of Dachau
The Dachau Concentration camp system
included 123 sub-camps and Kommandos which were set up in 1943
when underground factories were built near the main camp to make
use of the slave labor of the Dachau prisoners. These sub-camps
were in the surrounding area and were liberated by various divisions
of the American Seventh army who unexpectedly came across them
on their way to capture Munich.
The photograph above shows survivors
of the Ampfing sub-camp of Dachau, which was liberated by the
14th Armored Division of the US Seventh Army on May 3, 1945.
The man on the far left in the photo above is Leslie Keller,
a Jew from Szeged, Hungary who was first sent to Auschwitz in
1944 and then transferred to the Dachau sub-camp called Ampfing
to work in the munitions factory there.
