Camp Despair

Dachau, Germany

Dachau bears the unfortunate attribute of being Nazi Germany’s first concentration camp.  The grounds have now been converted into a sobering and silent memorial to those who walked through its stark iron gates and suffered.  More than 200,000 inmates and 43,000 deaths are chilling statistics.  The Museum deserved more time than we were able to give it; its exhibits offered perhaps the most gruelling evidence of life and death under that regime.  The facts are presented honestly, absolutely black and white, and as a valuable lesson for us all.
