Dachau Concentration camp



Dachau

This was a very humbling experience. It was incredible to see one of these in person. We saw how little the bunkers were. We saw how they had to stand at attention for hours, no matter the weather. We saw how small the standing rooms were for when they were being disciplined. We saw how hard they had to work to build bunkers to expand the place. We saw the rooms of real people as we listened to them tell their own stories. We saw the "shower rooms" that showered them with gas. We saw the chamber room where they laid dead bodies waiting to be burned. We saw where they hung people above the fire so they would not have to move their body. We saw the concentration camp.
