Each Zug Buch records the date that an individual arrived in Dachau and the point of origin of the transporting train. The books list the new arrivals by their prisoner number¿1 to 162,053. Other personal information includes name, date of birth, and nationality. Heinrich Himmler established Dachau, in 1933, near Munich, where the future head of the SS was consolidating his power. The first Nazi concentration camp, Dachau was intended for incarcerating political prisoners and other perceived enemies of the regime. The Dachau entry books identified new arrivals according to their alleged offense. Among the categories were political, professional criminal, homosexual, Gypsy, and Jewish. The number of Jewish prisoners at Dachau expanded as persecution of Jews intensified, especially after Kristallnacht in 1938. Although Dachau was not considered a death camp, its administrators subjected inmates to sadistic medical experiments and cruel forced labor. com.gallerysystems.emuseum.core.entities.Classification@73https://emuseum.cornell.edu/objects/44186/rdf
