Original Pre/post-Liberation Photos of Dachau

My grandfather was a US army supply master sargent in WWII.  Before he died several years ago, he gave me a collection of original photographs that he said were given to him by a former German guard of  Dachau.  These are horrible photographs of atrocities taken during the Nazi control of the camp (not post liberation).  I believe these to be of significant historical value.  These may be the only ones to survive. Contact me through this site to discuss further.
