Herr J in Dachau, Travel, concentration camp, holocost

As we've said before:  it's ironic that we make the most effort to be "tourists in our own town" when friends visit.  Recently, as a friend & her family stayed with us, we again visited the Memorial at Dachau Concentration camp.

I (Herr J) first visited in 1991 as a student / summer intern in Germany.  I went again with my parents in 2007.

This is a site that should be visited more often, if only to make sure we never forget.

 

The gatehouse and iron gate.  "Work will make you free":

The barracks:

The crematorium:

The Jewish Memorial:

The Catholic Mortal Agony of Christ chapel:

We hope to visit again many times in our life.
