Who is the elderly gentleman who used to hang out near the gas chamber building and talk to tourists?
He is Martin Zaidenstadt, a Jewish resident of the town of Dachau who claims that he was an inmate at Dachau, although the Dachau Museum says they have no record of him in their files. You can learn more about him from a book by Timothy W. Ryback, entitled “The Last Survivor, Legacies of Dachau.” On my last two visits to the camp in May 2001 and May 2003, he was not at the camp.
