This is a fragmentary list of people who were imprisoned at Dachau concentration camp.

Clergy

Gas chamber (2016)

Dachau had a special "priest block." Of the 2720 priests (among them 2579 Catholic) held in Dachau, 1034 did not survive the camp. The majority were Polish (1780), of whom 868 died in Dachau.

More than two dozen members of the Religious Society of Friends (known as Quakers) were interned at Dachau. They may or may not have been considered clergy by the Nazis, as all Quakers perform services which in other Protestant denominations are considered the province of clergy. Over a dozen of them were murdered there.

  • Titus Brandsma, Dutch priest, philosopher and former rector of Nijmegen University
