A tragic story

We visited the Dora-Mittelbau concentration camp near Nordhausen in eastern Germany. Such a tragic tale of wasted lives and needless deaths.This is the muster station where the prisoners would gather each day for a roll call regardless of the weather or how exhausted they were. There is a poignant memorial behind and the whole site has been very sensitively treated.

We visited Dachau in the 90s. It was still very eerie. Glad they are keeping them as a tribute to the survivors and as a memorial to those who didn't.

So hard to comprehend this horror.

[bkb in the city]

Very hard to understand why this happened

[KWind]

wow... the world sure is messed up!

It looks like such an innocent image. It's hard to even begin to comprehend the horrors that took place on that patch of land. I was thinking about all of that yesterday with the death of Simone Veil, an Auschwitz survivor. So senseless and sad.

I can only imagine the horrors that went on here, but now it does have a peaceful look although I would find it very hard to visit as these sort of places seem to hold an atmosphere for me.
