Dachau (photos and description) - HERE
Bergen Belsen (Anne Frank was imprisoned here) - HERE is a digital reconstruction of the area - the area now is a memorial with a museum. The memorial in my opinion is the most heartbreaking as it is left to the imagination - mounds in the grass with numbers. The numbers mark the numbers of people buried there. The number of individuals killed.
Auschwitz - WDR a German Television program shows a VR of Auschwitz with English commentary.

The Liberation of Belsen- Bergen Concentration Camp
(For older students only)
Holocaust history raises important questions about what Europeans could have done to stop the rise of Nazism in Germany and its assault on Europe’s Jews. Questions also must be asked of the international community, including the United States.
What did the US government and the American people know about the threats posed by Nazi Germany? What responses were possible? And when?
This exhibition examines the motives, pressures, and fears that shaped Americans’ responses to Nazism, war, and genocide.
