There's an uncertainty about a certain lyric in this song... "without them how could Hitler have condemned them at ______?"... it is some place name, but it seems a lot of people are unsure about what place it is. If anyone has any information about this, it would be useful, I think.
- Dachau is a village near Munich. It stands for all the concentration camps during the Nazi Time. There is an interesting German Homepage about Dachau: www.kz-gedenkstaette-dachau.de.

Dachau was established in March 1933, the Dachau concentration camp was the first regular concentration camp established by the National Socialist (Nazi) government. Heinrich Himmler, in his capacity as police president of Munich, officially described the camp as "the first concentration camp for political prisoners." It was located on the grounds of an abandoned munitions factory near the northeastern part of the town of Dachau, about 10 miles northwest of Munich in southern Germany. I also added the lyrics to the song because i had a question about this to concerning what the word was. I have added the wikipedia "Dachau" article. Zaxzaxzax 06:49, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- Dachau is well-known, but the confusion comes from Donovan who in his cover version is clearly not singing 'Dachau' but something like 'Laval' (which is what I hear), that is usually quoted (on several web sites) als 'Labau'. None of those two (Laval/Labau) seems to be a real place. Never heard the Buffy Sainte-Marie version, but I've come across several discussions that stated she was indeed originally singing 'Dachau'.--87.165.91.232 (talk) 13:49, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- If you listen to her sing it on Youtube (the Internet's a marvelous thing) she's clearly pronouncing the name Dachau -- the question that remains is, could Donovan really have gotten the name of a prominent concentration camp that wrong? It sorts of destroys the meaning of that line if the place doesn't exist, doesn't it? I'm not sure there isn't a reference he thought he heard that we're all missing. 71.112.36.216 (talk) 05:02, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
