Today we toured Dachau concentration camp. Dachau was the first concentration camp built by Nazi Germany, opening in March 1933. A place with a history of blatant injustice, medical experiments, and murder, some words that attempt to describe the experience of walking through Dauchau are:
Death
Disease
Dehumanization
Dark
Disbelief
Demoralizing
A few quotes that come to mind:
“Robbed the human mind of reason”
“Work makes free”
How to survive Dachau (as stated by a survivor): “be young, be lucky, have a good job assignment”
Later, we made our way to Munich, a city with many historical, religious, and architectural wonders including St Peter’s Church & the Glockenspiel, Munich’s famous clock in the city center. It was a national holiday & we enjoyed the streets’ activities.
