Dachau


This deserves a post of it's own. What is there to say? As I walked by the posters, I was surprised at the bluntness of this quote (speaking of the Germans): "...repress and forget..."

It's sombering to walk through something like this. To try to place yourself there all those years ago is hard. How could something like that happen in the 20Th Century?

Over 25,000 lives were lost in Dachau. Here are a few pictures:




From top to bottom: Memorial, Crematorium, Cremation Ovens (prisoners were hanged in front of these and then placed in the oven), Inmate bunks, Sculpture depicting symbols inmates wore on their arm bands.
