Dachau

We visited the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site near Munich, Germany today. What a place!! This door was how you entered the facility. The words means "Work Will Set You Free". Nazi propaganda tried to pass the place off as a work camp for political prisoners.

Here's some info on the place... https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/dachau

That must have been a difficult visit.

[Agnes]

A lot of emotion

[Lesley]

I hope to go there myself one day. It must have been very moving.

[haskar]

It is a very sad place. But the worst thing is that, as the current events show, we learn nothing!

[Mags]

Such a sad, sad place, but worth reminding people of this horrific history - so it will never be repeated.

[Carole Sandford]

I agree it’s always good to highlight these atrocities, especially as some try to say that it never happened!

[Joan Robillard]

A symbol of man's imhumanity to man.

[Bill]

Everyone should have the opportunity to visit these sights so we never forget. We were there 5 years ago. It is hard to explain the emotions you feel. Such a low point in human history.

[Pyrrhula]

A sign of man madness.

[Jacqueline]

A terrible monument but necessary, although some still forget

[Kathy]

A very solemn place to visit.

[LManning (Laura)]

A striking symbol of this crucial history.

[Shutterbug]

Sad and important to remember.

[Diana]

Something that should never be forgotten!

[Merrelyn]

It's a very emotional place to visit isn't it.

[Pat Knowles]

A very sobering experience I’m sure but one everyone needs to remember!

[carol white]

I would imagine that it feels quite eerie
