The Jewish Memorial, designed by Frankfurt architect Hermann Zwi Guttmann, is located approximately 40 yards east of the Catholic Memorial in the area of the former Dachau concentration camp that is close to where the original disinfection hut once stood. The photograph above shows the Jewish Memorial in the northeast corner of the former camp. On the extreme left, you can see a section of the north wall around the camp.

The photograph above shows the gates to the Memorial (notice the olive branches on the handles).
Dr. Johannes Neuhäusler, a former inmate of Dachau who was instrumental in getting the Catholic Memorial and the Catholic Convent built at Dachau, suggested that a Jewish Memorial be built. Construction began in September 1964 and the completed memorial was dedicated on May 7, 1967.”
