- Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said at the CERAWeek conference this week that the oil industry has failed to make a convincing case for why the U.S. government should allow the export of domestic oil when the U.S. still imports 5M bbl/day.
- The statement should please America's refiners, who have enjoyed increased profits from buying U.S. oil on the cheap to produce products such as gasoline.
- At the same time, Moniz went further than before in suggesting the Obama administration could redo the economic analysis that underpins its decisions on exporting American natural gas.
- Moniz also dismissed speculation that the Obama administration has in mind a hard cap on possible natural gas exports.
- Refiners: PSX, MPC, HFC, VLO, TSO, WNR, NTI, DK, CLMT, ALJ, CVI.

- Oil refiners are getting hit today as Brent crude falls to its lowest price in more than a week on rising tensions in Ukraine, shrinking the premium to West Texas crude to the narrowest level since October.
- Given Ukraine's location, the country's situation obviously will impact Brent more than WTI; meanwhile, WTI's losses are limited after U.S. government data yesterday showed crude supplies at Cushing, Okla., declining to a four-month low.
- Phillips 66 (PSX -2.8%) has dropped 3.5% YTD, while Delek US (DK -5.3%) has plunged 17%, Valero (VLO -4.3%) has slipped 3.8%, Holly Frontier (HFC -3.1%) has fallen 8.2% and Marathon Petroleum (MPC -4.4%) is off 8.5% in 2014.
- Other decliners today: TSO -1.5%, ALJ -5.4%, WNR -4.2%, CVI -3.4%, CLMT -0.7%.

- With oil transportation infrastructure in North America strained and Albertan oil having a tough time getting to market, Calumet Specialty Product Partners' (CLMT) plan to upgrade a dock in Lake Superior to load bitumen onto barges and ship it through the Great Lakes to other refineries could signal a trend in the industry.
- If approved, the new plan could bring considerable risks: Unlike normal oil, bitumen is heavier than water and sinks, making cleanup far more difficult, and the Great Lakes provides drinking water for more than 40M North Americans.
- Environmentalists may be causing more long-run harm than good by trying to block pipelines such as Keystone XL, Northern Gateway and Energy East, since it is forcing energy companies to consider options potentially far more environmentally devastating than pipelines, OilPrice.com's Rory Johnson writes.

- Shrinking crude spreads - WTI has gained 7.2% while Brent has risen just 1.7% so far in December - likely will hold back refiners during the first six months of 2014, Cowen's Sam Margolin says.
- Extremely favorable refining conditions from last month are deteriorating amid higher utilization and continued reduction in crude imports, limiting supply and causing U.S. prices to melt higher, the firm explains, adding that investors need to "manage near-term expectations" while "remain(ing) constructive on the refining story for 2014."
- Margolin keeps Outperform ratings for Western Refining (WNR +4%), Marathon Petroleum (MPC +2.6%), Tesoro (TSO +0.4%), Valero (VLO +1.4%) and PBF Energy (PBF +1.7%); HollyFrontier (HFC +2.4%), Delek (DK +2.3%), Northern Tier (NTI +0.6%), Alon USA (ALJ +1.7%) and Calumet Specialty Products (CLMT +3.8%).

- Tesoro (TSO -1.8%) apparently didn't offer enough good news at yesterday's analyst day, as shares tumble despite the general perception from the meeting as "incrementally positive."
- The key messages in the meeting surrounded progress of the synergy capture from the Carson acquisition, continued margin improvement through feedstock and product optimization and driving additional logistics growth.
- TSO sees rail unloading capacity along the U.S. west coast for North Dakota crude oil growing to nearly 1M bbl/day through 2015; TSO's $100M rail-to-barge project in Washington is the largest of the offloading projects announced so far.
- Imperial Capital raises its TSO price target TSO to $63 from $57, and Howard Weil lifts its target to $66 from $62.
- Other refiners are lower too: VLO -1.3%, PSX -0.7%, MPC -1.8%, WNR -2.6%, HFC -1.6%, ALJ -1%, NTI -0.2%, DK -1.9%, CLMT -2.7%.

- Calumet Specialty Products (CLMT +1.8%) units are moving after the MLP last night priced an upsized, $350M private placement of 7.625% senior unsecured notes due 2022.
- The deal, which was increased 55% from initial plans for a $225M offering, is expected to close Nov. 26.
- CLMT plans to use net proceeds for general partnership purposes, including working capital and possible acquisitions as well as buying back ~$100M of its 9.375% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2019 through privately negotiated transactions.

- Refiners such as Marathon Petroleum (MPC +4.9%) and Valero (VLO +4%) are surging today, and Barron's Ben Levisohn says it's all about the oil spread.
- While Brent crude has stayed steady for the last three months, trading at ~$109/bbl, WTI has dropped 12% to ~$94; the more expensive Brent is relative to WTI, the better it is for U.S. refiners.
- VLO, for example, has gained 17% during the past three months, and much of its price has followed the Brent-WTI spread.
- Also: PSX +2.1%, TSO +2.7%, HFC +3.2%, WNR +4.3%, ALJ +5.2%, ALDW +1.3%, CLMT +2.6%, CVI +1.3%.

- The price of West Texas crude has dropped nearly 9% during the past month, and Credit Suisse thinks it's time for investors to take another look at refiners, particularly Tesoro (TSO +1.2%).
- TSO's "Northern Mid-Con and Pacific North-West are among the best positioned in U.S. refining, with a decade of free cashflow ahead," the firm writes, adding that west coast results demonstrate TSO's above average asset quality which Carson synergies will cement further.
- The firm upgrades Calumet Specialty Products (CLMT +1.8%) to Neutral from Underperform as "the themes which drove expected underperformance have now become more visible"; Western Refining (WNR +0.3%) and Delek US (DK -1%) are "interesting."

- Calumet Specialty Products (CLMT) signs a 15-year deal with TexStar Midstream Logistics to build, own and operate a 30K bbl/day crude oil pipeline system to supply at least 10K bbl/day of Eagle Ford crude oil to CLMT's San Antonio, Tex., refinery.
- CLMT expects to significantly reduce its cost to transport crude oil to the San Antonio refinery, where it currently receives crude oil deliveries by truck, as a result of the agreement.

- Calumet Specialty Products (CLMT -2.6%) is downgraded to Sector Perform from Outperform with a $31 target price, down from $36, at RBC Capital, which sees weak distribution coverage in 2013, exacerbated by high turnaround costs, and unlikely distribution growth in the near-term.
- The firm thinks CLMT has liquidity to support sub-par distribution coverage, which should improve next year as projects come online and turnaround costs abate, but sees CLMT keeping a discount to MLP peers as the likelihood of growth remains limited.

- Refiners continue to rise a day after news of a leaked EPA proposal that would significantly scale back biofuel blending requirements next year.
- The EPA's rationale for a cut in the volume of ethanol that must be blended echoes an argument the oil industry has made for months: The U.S. fuel chain cannot absorb more ethanol.
- Let the lawsuits begin: "Any plan to roll back the targets... under the guise of addressing the blend wall would be patently unlawful," says the head of the Renewable Fuels Association.

Thursday, Aug 82013, 2:29 PM
- Calumet Specialty Products (CLMT -6.5%) is cut to Neutral with a $33 price target (from $40) at Credit Suisse after disappointing Q2 results and citing the recent narrowing of crude spreads which could provide a strong headwind to a company that has expanded fuels exposure in recent years.
- CLMT increased its Q2 distribution by a half-penny vs. run-rate Q/Q distribution growth of $0.03 over the prior six quarters; the slower increase suggests a slower distribution growth outlook until late next year, when ~$60M in growth projects is scheduled for completion.

Friday, Jul 52013, 8:53 AM"The days of $20 spreads have passed," BAML says as it grows more cautious on refiners whose earnings face strong headwinds from the collapse in WTI-Brent spreads. The firm downgrades Marathon Petroleum (MPC) to Neutral from Buy, while also cutting HollyFrontier (HFC) and Calumet Specialty Products (CLMT). (earlier) |Friday, Jul 52013, 8:53 AM| 7 Comments

Get tips from occupational therapy practitioners about establishing morning routines for children.
Why emerging? Chronic conditions account for 66% of the nation's health care budget, and more than a quarter of all Americans have multiple chronic conditions.1 As the number of older Americans increases, those figures are expected to rise even more. Managing chronic diseases is one way to cut costs and improve health, which is why the health care reform legislation—the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act2—included a new fund to assist states and communities to prevent illness and promote health.3
Get Involved! Salvador L. Bondoc, OTD, OTR/L, CHT, has worked mainly in physical rehabilitation since beginning his career in 1995. His clients have a mix of acute injuries and chronic conditions, and he believes that when working with people with chronic conditions occupational therapy practitioners must think of managing function, not just remediating problems. "The signs and symptoms will not go away," says Bondoc. "We must think of helping clients functionally manage their symptoms while promoting occupational engagement."
Practitioners who want to expand into this area need to emphasize what occupational therapy is good at—promoting living life to its fullest, says Bondoc. He suggests using principles of positive psychology, emphasizing what clients are capable of doing now, and collaborating with clients to discover ways to make engaging in occupations easier, less painful, less fatiguing, and more enjoyable. Within chronic disease management, practitioners can excel at life care planning for the aging population, community-based care, being a point person in discharge teams for helping clients with transitions, and symptom management.

< Return To Hearing
Circuit Judge Sidney R. Thomas
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman and Committee members. My name is Sidney R. Thomas. I serve as a Circuit Judge on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, with chambers in Billings, Montana. I presently serve as En Banc Coordinator and Death Penalty Coordinator for the Circuit. I also serve on the Executive Committee of the Circuit. I thank the Judiciary Committee for the opportunity to testify on S. 1845. The views I express are my own. Damage Caused by a Circuit Split These administrative efficiencies are especially important given the case mix of the Ninth Circuit. More than 40% of total appeals in the Ninth Circuit are filed by pro se litigants. Last year, for example, there were 6,568 pro se appeals filed in the Ninth Circuit out of 15,317 total cases. These appeals are processed by a special Pro Se Unit in the Ninth Circuit staff attorneys office. The vast majority of these appeals are then resolved by presentation to screening panels made up of Article III judges. Very few of these cases are referred to judges' chambers for consideration by oral argument panels. The significance of this given the current case mix is multiplied when we consider that approximately half of the pro se volume consists of immigration cases. The Flawed Arguments for Division of the Circuit D.C. - 0.6% +40.0% Changes in Filing and Delay (2001-2004) The simple fact is that, but for the unprecedented increase in immigration cases due to the flood of BIA appeals, the Ninth Circuit would not have a backlog. As the caseload and backlog tables in part (a) of this section indicate, we have held our ground in case processing time while experiencing a more than 500% growth in immigration cases, and a 50% increase in overall caseload. Thanks to the court management techniques described above, the Ninth Circuit has been able to absorb the enormous spike in immigration cases without losing ground. As the statistics from the early years of the immigration onslaught show-when we were reducing delay despite enormous case increases-we would be well within the national average for case processing, but for the increase in the immigration docket. If caseload growth is the justification for circuit division, then three other circuits should be divided because their adjusted filings per panel are statistically indistinguishable from the Ninth's. 3. Circuit Division Would Actually Increase Travel Burdens. In sum, under S. 1845, travel time to the circuit headquarters will increase and nonstop air travel options will decrease. The travel to new places of hearing will add additional travel burdens. For example, there are only two cities in which proposed Twelfth Circuit judges would reside with nonstop air service to Missoula, Montana: Billings and Boise. In addition, these figures only describe the travel of circuit judges. On average, the travel time of district judges, bankruptcy judges, magistrate judges, lawyer representatives, and others who attend meetings at the circuit headquarters will increase under S. 1845. The chart suggests that there is no relationship between the number of judges in a circuit and the number or rate of opinions produced. Further, a high volume of circuit opinions is an asset to circuit administration because precedential opinions settle circuit law. This is of great assistance to district judges, as former Chief Judge John Coughenour of Washington testified to this Committee several years ago. Indeed, when a court does not have a large volume of case law, the inevitable result is instability and unpredictability. Courts are forced to search the law of other circuits for guidance, knowing full well that the case authority is not controlling. In a large court, the parties know that the panels are bound by circuit law. The experience of smaller circuits also discounts the theory, propounded by split proponents, that division of the circuit will increase the number of en banc hearings. In fact, the general experience of smaller circuits is that those circuits have very few en banc hearings. Sixth Circuit 71% In sum, during the 2005-06 Term, five circuits were reversed more often than the Ninth Circuit; six circuits were reversed less often. In the 2004-05 term, the national reversal rate was 73%; the Ninth's was 84%. Three circuits-the First, Second, and Tenth-had higher reversal rates that Term. The statistics for the last few Terms demonstrate that the Ninth Circuit's reversal rate does not differ significantly from other circuits: |

Stark Investments' agreement to purchase the assets of the troubled Deephaven Capital Management on the cheap - for an initial $7.3 million - was seen as a strategic triumph when the deal was announced in late January. After all, the agreement gave the $8.5 billion Stark the right to manage Deephaven's funds (as well as ownership of most of the physical assets of the investment management firm).
Tactically, however, the deal has been challenging to implement as both Deephaven and Stark investors voiced concern over differences in the firms' valuation policies and worried about the sizable portion of illiquid assets in both firms' portfolios. The significant redemption requests Stark received for March 31 have further complicated matters as the firm has decided to fund redemption requests with both cash and in-kind distribution of...

__ At a February 2003 meeting between state and federal officials, FDA staff emphasized ''the potential for serious public consequences if NECC's compounding practices, in particular those relating to sterile products, are not improved.'' The agency issued a list of problems uncovered in its inspection to NECC, including a failure to verify if sterile drugs met safety standards.
But the agency decided to let Massachusetts officials take the lead in regulating the company, since pharmacies are typically regulated at the state level. It was decided that ''the state would be in a better position to gain compliance or take regulatory action against NECC as necessary,'' according to a summary of the meeting quoted by investigators.
The FDA recommended the state subject NECC to a consent agreement, which would require the company to pass certain quality tests to continue operating. But congressional investigators say Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy did not take any action until ''well over a year later.''
__ In October 2004, the board sent a proposed consent agreement to Cadden, which would have included a formal reprimand and a three-year probationary period for the company's registration. The case ended without disciplinary action in 2006, when NECC agreed to a less severe consent decree with the state.
Massachusetts officials indicated Tuesday they are still investigating why NECC escaped the more severe penalty.
''I will not be satisfied until we know the full story behind this decision,'' the state's interim health commissioner Lauren Smith said in a transcript of her prepared testimony released a day ahead of delivery. Smith is one of several witnesses scheduled to testify Wednesday, including FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg.
The committee will also hear from the widow of 78-year-old Eddie C. Lovelace, a longtime circuit court judge in southern Kentucky. Autopsy results confirmed Lovelace received fungus-contaminated steroid injections that led to his death Sept. 17.
Joyce Lovelace will urge lawmakers to work together on legislation to stop future outbreaks caused by compounded drugs, according to a draft of her testimony.
''We now know that New England Compounding Pharmacy, Inc. killed Eddie. I have lost my soulmate and life's partner with whom I worked side by side, day after day for more than fifty years,'' Lovelace states.
Barry Cadden is also scheduled to appear at the hearing, after lawmakers issued a subpoena to compel him to attend.
The NECC has been closed since early last month, and Massachusetts officials have taken steps to permanently revoke its license. The pharmacy has recalled all the products it makes, including 17,700 single-dose vials of a steroid that tested positive for the fungus tied to the outbreak.

ASH has set aside $9 million to support the start of the ASH Bridge Grant Program through the ASH Foundation, which is dedicated to Moving Hematology Forward. The Foundation will first focus on providing support for critical research needs and will expand to develop programs that inspire the next generation of hematologists and that advance the quality of care for patients with hematologic disorders.
The Hematologist interviewed the chair and vice-chair of the ASH Development Committee to discuss why the ASH Foundation is being established and what it will accomplish. This is part one of a two-part series.
The Hematologist: Why does ASH need a foundation?
Dr. George: I am concerned about the future of hematology research and the care of patients with hematologic disorders. Federal support for research through the National Institutes of Health has decreased every year for the past nine years. The uncertain future of academic careers in hematology is seriously limiting our ability to recruit the next generation of trainees. I'm alarmed by the possibility that opportunities for long and successful academic careers in hematology, as I have enjoyed, may diminish or disappear. The ASH Foundation is dedicated to addressing this challenging issue of declining support for hematology research head-on.
Dr. Bradner: The progressive decline in research funding arrives at the most inopportune moment in modern biomedicine — a time when, ironically, the etiology of blood diseases has never been better understood. We need to build on the existing momentum through both dedicated and focused attention on the funding shortfall that will become even more alarming if the government implements the sequestration process. In that case, funding could be further reduced by as much as 9 percent. Support for research and for research trainees will be a focal point of the Foundation. We must protect one of our most valuable resources, our dedicated physician/scientists, especially those who are in training or who are early-career investigators.
Dr. George: The Foundation will be a home for those who care passionately about hematology and who are committed to supporting programs designed to address the challenges that threaten to restrain innovation and growth in the field.
The Hematologist: Why can't this effort simply be a part of what ASH already does?
Dr. Bradner: Due to diligent management of the Society by ASH leadership and ASH staff, a number of non-revenue-generating programs and awards are funded each year in the ASH operating budget. But the creation of a foundation offers the chance to grow these philanthropic efforts through contributions from ASH members and supporters. I think the timing for this is perfect, as we hope to support additional ASH Bridge Grant Awards with donations to the ASH Foundation.
Dr. George: Of course the ASH Foundation is a part of ASH, but creating the ASH Foundation provides a new focus on the responsibility of individual members for sustaining our key programs and creating the opportunity for new initiatives. Many of the programs that ASH has developed generate revenue and can be self-sustained, but there are also programs, such as the new ASH Bridge Grant Awards, the ASH Scholar Awards program, the Clinical Research Training Institute, and ASH's partnership with the Amos Minority Faculty Development Program (the ASH-AMFDP), that generate no revenue. These programs target trainees and junior faculty investigators. The importance of providing support and encouragement to the next generation of hematologists cannot be overstated.
The ability to sustain these programs in a time of uncertain future revenue requires new ideas and approaches to secure financial stability. We need the support of ASH membership to develop a new culture of giving. We need to recognize that we, as individual members, must feel responsible for supporting these programs, which are critical to the future of hematology. This is the Foundation's mandate.
The Hematologist: How is ASH supporting the Foundation?
Dr. George: From its revenue, ASH will provide 100 percent of the indirect costs including administrative and management expenses. ASH will put to work savings that it has accumulated over the years to develop, through the Foundation, a sustainable base of support for our research and training programs. It is important for members to know that 100 percent of donations to the Foundation will be used for direct program costs. This means that all of what you donate goes directly to the programs you want to support.
Dr. Bradner: The ASH Foundation is a timely innovation of the Society. Formation of the Foundation represents a direct call to the membership to become an integral part of the support system to sustain vitality of the field that has rewarded each of us immeasurably and that identifies us in our professional lives. Together, we can move hematology forward.
The remainder of the interview, including a discussion of the current program focus of the Foundation, will be continued in the next issue of The Hematologist.

Words to Know
Where to Find More Information
Health care provider or provider. As used in this guide, "health care provider" or "provider" includes only doctors and hospitals.
HIPAA Privacy Rule. A set of legal rules written by the United States Department of Health and Human Services under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). These rules set national standards that give patients the right to see, copy, and amend their own health information. They also set standards protecting the privacy of health information. The HIPAA Privacy Rule does not apply to everyone who keeps health information about you. Only health care providers (such as doctors and hospitals), health plans (such as health insurers and Medicare) and health care clearinghouses (organizations that put health information into or out of an electronic format) have to follow the HIPAA Privacy Rule. Other people (such as employers) generally do not have to follow the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
HIPAA. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. This federal law directed the United States Department of Health and Human Services to write rules protecting the privacy of health information. The federal law leaves in place state laws that have privacy protections that are equal to or stronger than the federal law.
Notice of Privacy Practices. A notice that health care providers must give their patients that explains the patients' rights under the HIPAA Privacy Rule. Your provider must give you this notice when they first see you. They also must give you a copy of the notice when you ask for one. The notice of privacy practices must also explain how a provider can use health information and share it with others.
Personal representative. This guide uses the term "personal representative" to refer to someone who has the legal right to make health care decisions on behalf of another person.
Right to Access. The right to see and get a copy of your medical record.
Right to Amend. The right to have information added to your medical record to make it more complete or accurate. The right to amend does not mean a right to have information erased or removed.

Gasoline prices nationally have finally dropped after 27 straight days of increases, but Utah's pump prices continue to climb.
The nationwide average for regular unleaded slipped less than a penny Tuesday, to $3.76 per gallon. That ended a streak of price hikes that began on Feb. 8. Pump prices rose by more than 28 cents per gallon in that period, making gasoline the most expensive ever for this time of year.

In Utah, the average cost of a gallon of unleaded gasoline rose on Tuesday to $3.48, up from $3.44 on Monday and $3.25 one week ago. In all, average unleaded prices in Utah are up a whopping 39 cents per gallon in just the past month.
What happens now with gas prices depends on a variety of factors. Oil prices, a major factor in pump prices, have fallen to their lowest level in about two weeks, while the price of natural gas remained near a 10-year low.
The relief at the pump could be temporary. Experts predict that gasoline prices will rise over the next several weeks. The Oil Price Information Service says the nationwide average could peak at $4.25 per gallon in late April, beating the record high of $4.11 per gallon set in July 2008. That will likely keep gas prices front and center in the presidential campaign and economists will argue their impact on the U.S. economy.
At a White House press conference, President Barack Obama dismissed suggestions by some of his Republican critics that he wants to see gasoline prices rise. No president wants to put more financial strain on American families, especially in an election year, Obama said.
The White House will continue to look for ways to reduce the amount of oil Americans consume, Obama said. The president also asked his attorney general to examine whether speculators were driving up the price of oil.
But "there is no silver bullet" for lowering oil and gas prices, Obama warned.
The government boosted its estimates for average oil and gasoline prices. The Energy Department said the average price of oil should be nearly $106 per barrel this year while gasoline should cost an average of $3.79 per gallon. Government data show Americans paid an average of $3.53 per gallon in 2011.
Gasoline already exceeds $4 per gallon in California, Alaska and Hawaii, which tops at $4.37. It's close to $4 in several other states, including Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Oregon and Washington.

In response, U.S. drivers are driving less and buying less gasoline. MasterCard SpendingPulse, which uses credit card purchases to estimate gasoline consumption, said average gasoline demand fell last week by 6.3 percent when compared with a year earlier.
The price of gasoline has tracked the increase in its primary component, crude oil. In the first two months of 2012, oil jumped by an average of 13 percent compared with the same period last year.
Pump prices are almost certain to rise further this spring as refineries switch to making summer fuel blends. This annual changeover temporarily cuts into gasoline supplies just before the summer tourism season.
Oil prices fell Tuesday after Iran agreed to let international nuclear inspectors into its facilities. The standoff between Western powers and Iran over that country's nuclear program had driven oil's rise. The announcement eased concerns about a possible disruption to oil supplies around the globe.
Benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude, which is used to price oil produced in the U.S., fell by $2.02 to end the day at $104.70 per barrel, the lowest price since Feb. 21. Brent crude, which prices foreign oil imported by U.S. refineries, gave up $1.82 to finish at $121.98 per barrel.

Michael Zadora was born in New York City in 1882, the son of Baron and Baroness Louis von Zadora of Warsaw, Poland, although, according to one source, his ancestry could also be traced back to Italy and Germany. First taught the piano by his father, the young Zadora made his debut on the New York concert stage as an eight-year-old prodigy. He attended the Academy of St Francis Xavier, a private all-male Jesuit School in Manhattan until the age of twelve. In 1899, aged seventeen, Zadora left New York for Europe, initially enrolling at the Paris Conservatoire and later studying with Theodore Leschetizky in Vienna and Heinrich Barth (who had taught Arthur Rubinstein) at the Hochschule für Musik in Berlin. Making his home in Europe, he taught at various institutions including the Lemberg (now Lvóv) Conservatory (1910–1911), the Hochschule für Musik and the Klindworth-Scharwenka Conservatory in Berlin, but as the First World War approached he returned to America and in 1913 took up a post at the Institute for Musical Art in New York, which was later to become the Juilliard School of Music.
After the end of the war, Zadora returned to Europe, settling in Berlin from where he gave concerts, made recordings and taught. It was here that he had met his most important musical influence, the composer and pianist Ferruccio Busoni. In 1923, at the Beethovensaal, Zadora was the first pianist to give an all-Busoni recital, while with fellow Busoni pupil Egon Petri he gave two-piano recitals and prepared the piano part of the vocal score of Busoni's opera Doktor Faust; he also set up a Busoni Society. Pianist and composer evidently became close; in 1924, as Busoni lay on his death-bed, Zadora played a Mendelssohn Lied ohne Worte for him. From his home in Berlin, Zadora made frequent tours, travelling to Russia to perform; in 1931, he made a notable broadcast – a recital from Stockholm that included Alkan's Le tambour bat aux champs, Bach's Sarabande and Partita and three of his own transcriptions. By the mid 1930s, probably due to increasing unrest in Germany, Zadora was back in America. He performed regularly in New York during the last ten years of his life, generally giving one or two recitals a year at New York's Town Hall. At one of these recitals, in the autumn of 1937, he played a group of works by Busoni – the Sonatina ad usum Infantis, Carmen Sonatina, and Intermezzo and Perpetuum Mobile. In 1938 Zadora tried his luck in London; however, his recital at the Wigmore Hall received a disappointing review. Although he was praised for his performance of a group of three Chopin Nocturnes, which 'revealed the player's command of a beautiful tone, at once warm and deep', the critic went on to dismiss him as 'a follower of Busoni' who 'travestied his master's style' by playing Liszt's B minor Piano Sonata too fast. A second recital, given two weeks later, was not reviewed. As was common with many pianists of his generation, Zadora also composed, publishing original works under the pseudonym of Pietro Amadis. He also transcribed five songs by Schumann, works by Bach (JS and WF), Buxtehude, Pergolesi, Delibes, Offenbach, Jensen, Henselt, Waldteufel and Schubert, while in 1942 he wrote a two-piano version of Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever. He also wrote for Broadway; in 1938, he composed music for a production of The Bridal Crown by Strindberg, given by the New York Players and directed by Andrius Jilinsky. This went the way of so many Broadway productions of its time, however, apparently closing after only one performance. Little is known of Zadora's personal life, although it is recorded that, in May 1943, he was married to Anne Biddle Brock of Philadelphia, niece of Mrs A J Drexel Paul, who came from a family of bankers and diplomats connected to the Astors. He was sixty-one. He died just three years later 'after a long illness' in June 1946, aged sixty-three, at his home on Seventh Avenue. Zadora's recital programmes would generally consist of the standard nineteenth- century piano repertoire – Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, Bach–Busoni – as well as Beethoven, Schubert, Bartók and Debussy, plus rarer repertoire: in January 1937, he gave a notable performance of Liszt's seldom heard Christmas Tree Suite. However, from contemporary reports, it appears that Zadora was a nervous performer who often found it difficult to relax at the keyboard. The critic at his Town Hall recital in New York in 1940 that began with a performance of the Schubert B flat Sonata D960, wrote: 'Michael Zadora … is a pianist who seems to be torn between extremes. He can shape a phrase with knowledge and sensitivity and he can make the piano sing it with unforced loveliness. Then he can turn around and beat out another passage with a rigidity of rhythm and a harshness of tone that make one wonder whether it is the same musician. When Mr Zadora leashes his tendency to pour on tone and when he gives voice to his poetic nature, his work is rewarding.' He ended with, 'The pianist did some of his best playing in the set of twelve Chopin Études Op 25. The Études are concentrated and Mr Zadora set them forth with a measure of restraint.' A year later he chose Carnegie Hall for his recital (Beethoven's Sonata in E flat Op 27 No 1 and the 'Eroica' Variations, Schumann's Kreisleriana and Liszt's complete 'Paganini' Études) but again 'rapid work was propelled at a cyclonic rate of speed that made clarity impossible, despite the fleetness of the soloist's fingers'. In the recording studio, however, Michael Zadora showed quite a different side – he was more confident and relaxed, the complete opposite of his great mentor, Busoni. Most of his discs were made during the 1920s for Polydor, while he was living in Europe. His first few sides were recorded for Vox and demonstrate that his Chopin was always played with taste, and as a Russian critic wrote after Zadora performed in Leningrad in 1925, he 'interprets Chopin in a remarkable style of his own, aiming at intimacy and quiet'. The recording of the Nocturne in B major Op 32 No 1 is one of the best examples of this. Also impressive are the Études from Op 25 which he used to perform as a set, and the following Waltz in D flat from Op 64 is played with charm and style at a tempo chosen so as not to turn it into a display piece. All these Polydor Chopin recordings and the group of four Preludes were recorded on a golden-toned Blüthner piano that was captured fairly well by the acoustic recording process. Other acoustic recordings of note are the four of Liszt's six Consolations, and the once-popular Romance in E flat Op 44 No 1 by Anton Rubinstein to which Zadora applies discerning rubato. These, and beautifully turned performances of the Scarlatti–Tausig Pastorale and a Field Nocturne, show that he was in his element in quiet, intimate and introspective miniatures. With the improved sound quality achieved by the electrical recording process, more subtleties of Zadora's playing can be heard, particularly his tone and wide range of dynamics. The Prokofiev Prelude displays considerable finger technique while in La Passion by Lamare and Jensen's Murmuring Zephyrs his wonderful controlled tone and phrasing of melodies is of the highest quality. These tracks were recorded on a Bechstein piano, its particular sound being captured well by the engineers. The bolder tone of a Steinway can be heard in the following work attributed to Bach, a performance no doubt stylistically influenced by Busoni. Writing in January 1930, one critic thought this recording to be 'one of the best Bach records I have met with'. Some of the last recordings Zadora made for Polydor were of two pieces from Debussy's suite Pour le piano. The Prélude is given an impressive reading, although in the Toccata Zadora's tendency to rush is in evidence; it is a thrilling performance, nonetheless. Four sides recorded for Ultraphon in the early 1930s were of popular encores, three of which Zadora the composer had a hand in; his arrangement of the Larghetto from Henselt's Piano Concerto is particularly arresting, with a gorgeous tone and languid air. The one disc for Electrola is of elegant but rather uninspired Delibes transcriptions. Probably Zadora's most important recordings are the two discs he made in 1938 for the Friends of Recorded Music Society, as both are of Sonatinas by Busoni. He had recorded the Sonatina No 6 (after Bizet's Carmen) for Polydor, but the Friends of Recorded Music Society (sponsored by the American Music Lover magazine) were interested in unusual repertoire, which is no doubt why they had Zadora record these works. One critic referred to the music as 'representing the most fertile tendency in contemporaneous music. This is to say they are in the style which Busoni himself baptized as the new-classical.' He found the 'exploitation of bold, oftentimes iron bell and chime-like sonorities of the piano beautifully interpreted by Zadora'. This survey of nearly all of Zadora's commercial recordings (one disc, Polydor 19099 of works by Amadis and Stockhoff could not be traced) at last gives us the opportunity to reassess Zadora as a pianist. There is certainly some fine playing among his discs and it may be that he was one of the few pianists of the first half of the twentieth century whose recordings were superior to his concert performances. One of the best descriptions of Zadora was given by a critic of the New York Times in 1943 when he wrote: 'He played an exacting program with a brilliance of technique, a beauty of tone and a poetic charm in interpretation that, while marred by certain temperamental idiosyncrasies, nevertheless resulted, if not in an evening of great art, at least in one of unusually fine piano-playing.'

Dachau KZ
The Nazis opened their first concentration camp at Dachau, near Munich, in March 1933, only two months after Adolf Hitler came to power. This camp was the model for the many others to follow. It operated continuously until April 1945, when the allies liberated the inmates. Originally intended for the temporary detention of political prisoners, the camps became permanent institutions manned by the Schutzstaffel (ϟϟ) Totenkopfverbande (Death's Head detachments). In these camps, the more sadistic guards, of whom there was no shortage in the ϟϟ, were more or less free to inflict indescribable cruelties on the inmates without fear of disciplinary action. The camp system gradually evolved from penal camps to the infamous death mills of Auschwitz, Belzec, Chelmno, Maidanek, Sobibor, and Treblinka.
From the Dachauer Volksblatt, 6 April 1933:
From the Dachauer Volksblatt, 6 April 1933:
In a press conference on 20 March the Police Commissioner of Munich [Heinrich Himmler] made the following announcement: The first concentration camp will be opened on Wednesday near Dachau. It has a capacity of 5,000 people. All of the Communist functionaries and, insofar as necessary, the Reichsbanner and Marxist functionaries who threaten the security of the state will be assembled here. Leaving individual Communist functionaries in the courthouse jails is not possible for the long term without putting too much strain on the apparatus of the state. On the other hand, it is not appropriate, either, to let them go free again. Isolated attempts we have made in this regard resulted in continued efforts by the functionaries to agitate and organize. We have taken these steps regardless of minor misgivings, in the conviction that our actions serve to reassure the national population and are in their interest. Police Commissioner Himmler further asserted that protective custody of individuals would not be continued any longer than necessary. But it is understandable that the unexpectedly large amount of evidence confiscated will take a long time to examine. The police will simply be delayed in this process if they are constantly being asked when this or that person in protective custody will be set free. The inaccuracy of rumours that are frequently spread about the treatment of persons in protective custody is shown by the fact that visits by a priest were freely granted to several persons in protective custody who wished them, such as Dr. Gerlich and Baron von Aretin.
On Wednesday, 22 March, the concentration camp at the former gunpowder factory received its first allocation of 200 inmates. The Dachau camp consists of over 20 one- to two-story stone buildings, each of which can hold 200 to 250 men. At first the occupancy of the camp will gradually increase to 2,500 men and will possibly be expanded to 5,000 men later. A labour service detachment recently prepared the barrack for the first 200 men and secured it for the time being with a barrier of triple barbed-wire. The first job of the camp inmates will be to restore the other stone buildings, which are very run-down. Once that is accomplished, they will be led out in small groups of about 50 men into the countryside, where extensive land cultivation projects wait to be implemented. Perhaps later some of the camp inmates will be offered the possibility of settling here. The guard unit will initially consist of a contingent of one hundred state police (Landespolizei), which is to be further reinforced by SA auxiliary police guards. Meals will be taken in the large dining hall of the former ammunition factory, which can hold up to 1,500 people. But cooking will be done in field kitchens. No visits are allowed at the Concentration Camp in Dachau.
After the Second World War, a kind of 'dark tourism' emerged in Germany, as the former sites of death and terror in the Third Reich became 'must see' sights on the tourist trail. Today, Dachau, Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen and other 'fatal attractions' linked to the Hitler dictatorship draw thousands of visitors each year. The most recent Lonely Planet guide to Germany, for example, lists the former concentration camp at Dachau as one of the key attractions around Munich, alongside the Chiem Lake, the Andechs brewery and the Alpamare water park.

Over the entrance, (Kommandant Rudolf] Höss placed a wrought-iron archway with the words Arbeit macht frei, 'work liberates', a slogan he had learned in Dachau.
(295) The Third Reich at War
Dachau was the first concentration camp opened in Germany on March 1933 on the grounds of an abandoned munitions factory near the mediaeval town of Dachau 10 miles northwest of Munich. It served as a prototype and model for the other Nazi concentration camps that followed. Its basic organization, camp layout as well as the plan for the buildings were developed by Kommandant Theodor Eicke and were applied to all later camps. He had a separate secure camp near the command centre, which consisted of living quarters, administration, and army camps. Eicke himself became the chief inspector for all concentration camps, responsible for moulding the others according to his model.
In total, over 200,000 prisoners from more than 30 countries were housed in Dachau of whom two-thirds were political prisoners and nearly one-third were Jews. 25,613 prisoners are believed to have died in the camp and almost another 10,000 in its subcamps, primarily from disease, malnutrition and suicide. In early 1945, there was a typhus epidemic in the camp followed by an evacuation, in which large numbers of the weaker prisoners died.
Konzentrationslager (KZ) Dachau holds a significant place in public memory because it was the second camp to be liberated by British or American forces. Therefore, it was one of the first places where the West was exposed to the reality of Nazi brutality through firsthand journalist accounts and through newsreels.
The motto at Dachau, "Arbeit macht frei" (Work Is Liberty), is well known; it was also used elsewhere, a hollow, cynical promise from the tradition of the work society. No prisoner was ever released because of hard work and good performance.

Site of roll call and as it appears today
The prisoners marched out by block onto the Appellplatz and waited there for the ϟϟ to appear. The block personnel counted the inmates and reported the results to those on duty in the prisoner orderly room. They in turn passed the total on to the ϟϟ rapport leader. The ϟϟ block leaders double-checked the results, running through another count so that the reporting officer could compare the two totals. In order to make sure the final tally was correct, the prisoners in the sick bay and those who had died during the night also had to be counted. This double bureaucratic procedure should hardly have required more than half an hour, given the experienced and well-rehearsed chain of reporting. But the process was often delayed or interrupted by violence. Despite the fixed time for morning roll call, the ϟϟ was often late. Illuminated by searchlights, the columns had to wait in the first light of dawn in every conceivable type of weather until the camp lords took the stage. Their entrance was a carefully calculated show of power. To leave thousands waiting is always a demonstration of total power. And time was something the camp masters had plenty of. Inmates did not march off to their places of work until it was light. Consequently, morning roll call in the winter months could drag on for more than ninety minutes, until the command was given over the loudspeakers for the prisoners to form up into Kommandos. The accommodation of working hours to daylight was the only concession the camp regime made to natural time.

And afterwards we had a lot to eat ... it was very nice.She is still alive and has never renounced the Nazi ideology, repeatedly justifying the actions of her father. For decades she has been a prominent leader in Stille Hilfe which provides support for Nazi war criminals as in the case of Anton Malloth who was extradited to Germany in 1988 and sentenced in 2001 to life in prison. She had arranged his stay at an expensive nursing home in Pullach in the south of Munich which had originally served as the property of Rudolf Hess.
Prisoners' barracks
The reconstructed baracks at the Buchenwald concentration camp look almost the same as the dimensions used for the barracks used at the Dachau Refugee Camp I take my students to every Tuesday in the town.

Konzentrationslager - Ausstellung Bunker (Exhibition Camp Prison)
Beginning in the summer of 1933, the camp island already resembled a bulwark. In front of the wire fence, charged with high-voltage current at night, there was a low, slatted fence that marked out the "neutral zone." Whoever entered it was shot down without warning. Directly behind it ran a concrete wall three meters high that surrounded the entire area of the camp. Patrols moved in the area between the wall and the internal fence; these patrols maintained eye contact with the two sentries posted on each of the four watchtowers. Machine guns were pointed at the camp from all directions. Searchlights illuminated the grounds at night. Every corner could be lit up brightly and brought under fire at will. In the beginning, the patrols had to drive away strangers and the curious, but this was a problem that soon took care of itself. After modernization, the entire area was surrounded by a high wall and encircled during the day by the Große Postenkette. Patrols with dogs scoured the areas in between. The prisoner camp was enclosed by a moat; then came the concrete wall with the wire fence and watch- towers, a path for the nightly patrols, and a double row of electrified barbed wire. Finally, there was the death strip, covered with white gravel to make any shadow readily visible at night.

No one could be tricked into believing this is a shower.In fact, the sign above the door actually reveals that the room served as disinfection chambers.

An undated list for internal ϟϟ use prepared during the war mentions no fewer than forty-seven crimes punishable by official flogging. A few examples: ten strokes of the cane were given for "negligence at work and undisciplined behaviour," twenty for "absence from the work place" and stealing of food, fifteen for "insolence toward a member of the ϟϟ" or "cutting up a woollen blanket"; the "theft of a potato" was punishable by five strokes on the whipping block.

of Guards during the liberation of Dachau by Allied soldiers
A coal yard near the ϟϟ hospital was used to contain the ϟϟ POWs from the hospital, NCO school and finance centre. Lieutenant Sparks, shown above trying to call an halt to the massacre, later described the area as enclosed by an "L-shaped masonry wall, about eight feet high, which had been used as a coal bin. The ground was covered with coal dust, and a narrow gauge railroad track, laid on top of the ground, led into the area." The prisoners were placed under the command of Lt. Walsh, the same man who had shot four ϟϟ guards on the so-called Death Train. The number of men present varies enormously between accounts, but according to the investigation carried out by the Assistant Inspector General of the 7th Army, Joseph M. Whitaker (known as the IG report); all estimates were in the range of 50-125, with the majority in the range of 50-75. From this point, the accounts of what happened to these men diverge wildly. Walsh gave the order to the machine gunner identified in the IG report as "C" and the other soldiers present to shoot the POWs if they moved. An eyewitness, Karl Mann, remembered the I-Company officers deciding to shoot the ϟϟ men when Sparks was no longer in sight, although this also conflicts with the IG report. According to the IG report, the ϟϟ men thought they were going to be executed when the machine gunner loaded his weapon, and lurched forward, triggering the shooting. However, other eyewitness reports, including the gunman himself, indicate that the trigger had rather been someone shouting "fire". This incident, which took a matter of moments, was interrupted by an irate Colonel Sparks, who ran from where he had been stationed "about 100 to 200 meters on the other side of the wall" To stop the shooting, Sparks shot his ".45 in the air while shouting "Cease Fire!"", before kicking the shooter away from the gun.

After entry into the camp, personnel of the 42nd Division discovered the presence of guards, presumed to be SS men, in a tower to the left of the main gate of the inmate stockade. This tower was attacked by Tec 3 Henry J. Wells 39271327, Headquarters Military Intelligence Service, ETO, covered and aided by a party under Lt. Col. Walter J. Fellenz, 0-23055, 222 Infantry. No fire was delivered against them by the guards in the tower. A number of Germans were taken prisoner; after they were taken, and within a few feet of the tower, from which they were taken, they were shot and killed.from the IG Report of the U.S. Seventh Army
The mass executions at the "death wall" in the main camp were generally achieved by bullets to the nape of the neck. Thousands of men, women, and children were shot at this site. In Dachau as well, mass executions were carried out in the yard of the bunker or the garden of the crematorium, generally by bullets to the nape of the neck. Groups of fifteen to thirty prisoners were forced first to disrobe completely and then to kneel down in a row. The associates went from person to person, pressing a pistol to the base of each skull and pulling the trigger. This procedure had no military tradition behind it: killing by Genickschuß was a method first used by the secret police. Although the act of killing here was done by an individual, the sequence of slaughter was just as anonymous as in the case of a firing squad. The perpetrator saw the victim only from behind. Direct eye contact was precluded. Soldiers condemned to death stand erect and await a hail of bullets to their faces. Honour demands that they stand directly facing the enemy. By contrast, the concentration camp in- mates were forced to kneel down, bending their necks forward, and were then liquidated in rows, one after the other.

Names and other biographical information of those who died in the Dachau Concentration Camp were collected for the book. Of the more than 40,000 dead over 33,000 victims coming from nearly forty nations can now be called by their name - far more than originally expected.

Sites Outside the Main Camp
The ϟϟ Wirtschaftsbetriebe or 'business enterprises' that served as the main factory for prisoners. It had been built around the time of the Great War; the period photo dates from 1941.
Although scarcity was ubiquitous, the personnel used the workshops in Dachau, which already employed five hundred artisans in 1933, for its own private orders. This was the origin of the system of graft and corruption in which many members of the commandant office staffs were implicated later on. When the Dachau workshops were transferred from the supervision of the central Inspektion and placed under Pohl's Administrative Office, that move met with fierce opposition from the clique of commandants. The shift to commercial principles curtailed their private power of control. This line of conflict between the economic administration echelon and the camp ϟϟ also resurfaced in differences over the later deployment of prisoners in arms manufacture.
Sofsky (174)
This is what is left of the former ϟϟ main guardhouse directly across from the ϟϟ Wirtschaftsbetriebe. From 1935, this served as the entrance to the camp. Harassed and beaten prisoners would pass through it from the railway station as well as prisoner transport such as buses and lorries. The ϟϟ members used it too when entering, and most lived further down this road to the ϟϟ residences. The foundations were uncovered as recently as 2008.
Straße der ϟϟ
These buildings on what was the 'Strasse der ϟϟ' served as residences for members of the ϟϟ.
The centre of power was located in the administrative area. The offices of the camp commandant, the Political Department, and the administrative department were in close proximity to the prisoner camp, but just outside the barbed-wire perimeter. Every office of the KZ-Inspektion had its branch in this administrative zone. It served as the local representative of the central bureaucracy. A leafy, wooded area was set aside for the living quarters of the ϟϟ officers. In Dachau, these were located on the Straße der ϟϟ outside the camp.
Sofsky (49)
This was the Dachau Kommandantur (headquarters) just outside the memorial site. The area of the commandant's headquarters in the ϟϟ concentration camp was located directly next to the prisoner camp. The commandant had almost unrestricted control over the camp. The headquarters staff and the guard units carried out his orders.
The Plantation
In 1938 concentration camp prisoners were forced to build an herb garden (plantation) on the other side of the Alte Römerstrasse, east of the camp. The cultivation of local herbs was the idea of the 'working group for medicinal plants studies' and Reichsführer ϟϟ Heinrich Himmler showed particular interest in the plan. Germany should have no need to import foreign medicines and herbs. The economic importance of the work done by the prisoners in the herb garden increased as the war progressed. The ϟϟ guards marched the prisoners to work on the large open-air site under abusive threats and blows, and prisoners were arbitrarily shot 'while attempting to escape'. Less brutal working conditions reigned only in the buildings and greenhouses. There a work detail of draughtsmen was supposed to produce a plant collection for Himmler. At the risk of losing their lives, some of the prisoners managed to depict the crimes committed by ϟϟ guards in secret notes. The ϟϟ set up a shop as part of the herb garden to sell produce from the 'plantation' to residents from Dachau and neighbouring communities. Some prisoners succeeded in establishing secret contact to the civilian population.

Prisoners who arrived at the train station would march down this street to the concentration camp.

On the left is the Hörhammerbräu Inn where, in November 1922, the Bund Oberland was established which would later become the Dachau Nazi party in 1929 and where it would hold regular meetings; one speaker had been Rudolf Hess. Because the KPD did as well, violent fights would break out.
On the right is the Obere Apotheke, which had been damaged in the fighting on April 30, 1919 between the Freikorps Görlitz, sent by the government from Berlin, and the Red Army which had occupied Dachau since winning "The Battle of Dachau" on April 16, 1919. The Freikorps was also known as the White Guard because they wore white armbands while the Red Army wore red armbands. After a battle that lasted one day, the Freikorps liberated the town of Dachau from the Communists. The white armbands, worn by the Freikorps, were decorated with an ancient emblem called the swastika. The Obere Apotheke supplied the medicine to the prisoners at the camp, delivered St. Jakob church and even provided medication illegally to prisoners working in the town on work details.

The Stadtkeller shown on the left has had its name since July 1936 when SA man Paul Taut, serving on the town council, leased the building to open a restaurant. Up to then it had been owned by the Dachau Association of Free Trade Unions where the Social Democrats held their party meetings and as a result it became the centre for the trade unions. When the Nazis won the March 5, 1933 elections, union leaders met here to plan their defence against the coming persecution.The Brückenwirt Inn, site of a particular tragedy during the NSDAP era. Its innkeeper and butcher, Ludwig Rosner, was arrested after making anti-Nazi remarks here and sent to the camp. During the time he was incarcerated his wife had suffered an emotional breakdown and had taken their two sons (aged about six and seven) where they were last seen in a shop in Eschenried where she bought them candy. They remained missing when Rosner had been released months later until the bodies were found in Ziegelwald, all dead by the mother using the man's pistol. Past the inn, one arrives at the Mühlbachweg, which was the path women from Dachau used when they accompanied escaped prisoners from the concentration camp during the Dachau Uprising on April 28, 1945.
New Gallery
Further along the street after the Brückenwirt Inn, the New Gallery was once the site of the Dachau Labour Service Camp shown in 1937 and today. In 1935 those between the ages of 18 to 25 as well as the unemployed were made to volunteer for one year of labour service. By the end of the war teenagers and those over the age of 60 were called up into the Volksturm and this was the base.
The Unterbräu Inn
Unterbräu Inn in 1934 and today. It is apparently the oldest brewery in Dachau. On April 16, 1919 this was the headquarters of the Red Army when it controlled Dachau before being overthrown over a week later by Freikorps Görlit. It holds a place in Nazi mythology as the site where the Dachau NSDAP Ortsgruppe was officially founded on February 1, 1930 under the chairmanship of NSDAP Gauleiter for Upper Bavaria, Fritz Reinhardt who, on April 1, 1933 was appointed State Secretary in the Reich Ministry of Finance. In fact, it was to this man that "Aktion Reinhardt" was named whereby the Jews of the Polish General Government became the first large group of Jews to be liquidated by gas in 1942–43. Fritz Reinhardt (1895–1969) had by then become the official in the Finance Ministry responsible for administering the valuables, including dental gold, taken from the victims before or after their deaths.
However, a more infamous event took place here on Sunday, July 17 1932- the so-called Battle of Unterbräu Inn where seven SA men had fled after having antagonised members of the Reichsbanner by stealing a flag from the Jungsozialisten. They were protected by the innkeeper who stood in the doorway with two dogs until they were saved by a Bavarian state police riot squad.

The last photo shows a memorial specifically to Austrian victims.
This tiny hamlet just to the Northwest of Dachau was the site of a massacre the day the camp was liberated. A Waffen-SS unit had arrived to take up defensive positions in trenches dug around the farms by French POW workers in order to delay the advance of American tanks of the 20th Armoured Division and infantry units of the 7th US Army which was approaching Dachau. The farms, mostly run by women (whose husbands were either dead, prisoners of war or still fighting) with the help of French POWs, came under fire on the morning of April 29 forcing all inhabitants to rush for the cellars. One soldier of Company F of the US 222nd Infantry Regiment of the 42nd Rainbow Division was killed upon entering the hamlet under fire from the Waffen-SS unit. This led the first German to emerge from the cellar, the farm's owner Herr Furtmayer, to be immediately shot. The French POWs then informed the Americans that that only civilians were actually hiding in the cellars which led the soldiers to round up the men of the ϟϟ unit. First to surrender was an officer, Freiherr von Truchsess, heading a detachment of seventeen men who was then struck with a trenching tool splitting his head open. The others were lined up in the farmyard and summarily shot. On a slight rise behind the hamlet, another group of eight ϟϟ were shot. Their bodies were found lying in a straight line with their weapons and ammunition belts neatly laid on the ground suggesting that the men were shot after they surrendered. Altogether, one ϟϟ officer and forty one men lay dead as the infantry regiment proceeded on their way towards Dachau. Next day the local people, with the help of the French POWs, buried the bodies in a field to be later exhumed by the German War Graves Commission and returned to their families.

In Hebertshausen, a municipality adjoining Dachau, is a shooting range that had been built for the ϟϟ in 1937. This is where roughly 4,000 imprisoned Soviet soldiers were executed from November 25 1941 to the final year of the war. The prisoners brought to Dachau for execution were not recorded in the concentration camp files. The former ϟϟ guardhouse shown above is used today as an homeless shelter
The entrance to the shooting range April 30, 1945 and today; the ϟϟ runes have been removed but their traces remain on the now superfluous posts:
The route to the execution site just after liberation and today.
The victims were killed as they were handcuffed to posts on the left side.
