The present status of our understanding of low mass dilepton production in relativistic heavy ion collisions is discussed. The focus of the discussion will be the sensitivity of dilepton measurements to in medium changes of hadrons and the restoration of chiral symmetry. We will finally discuss how the presence of strong long wavelength pion modes, i.e. disoriented chiral condensates can be seen in the dilepton spectrum.
