International Youth Meeting Dachau

The International Youth Meeting is a place for young people from all over the world to discuss issues concerning the past, the present and the future. Young people will look at the history of the concentration camp at Dachau, National Socialism and present forms of exclusion, racism, and discrimination. The principles of exchanging ideas, experiencing different cultures, as well as Holocaust education and imparting tolerance are the core ideals of the International Youth Meeting.
The International Youth Meeting is primarily organized by a team of volunteers. Many survivors of the National Socialist regime will talk about their personal experiences of persecution, whether in the concentration or labor camps or working in the resistance.
The first International Youth Meeting, founded by young people from and around the town of Dachau, took place in 1983.
