Hungary’s lesson on politics (opens in new tab)

On April 29, 1945, U.S. troops liberated 32,000 emaciated political prisoners and Jews near the town of Dachau, Germany, 12 miles north of Munich. Dachau was one of hundreds of forced labor/extermination camps run by the autocratic regime of Adolph Hitler and his Nazi party during World War II. The soldiers also found more than 30 railroad boxcars full of bodies there.
