Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial

From one of the most vile parts of human history is the Dachau Concentration Camp.  Here is where numerous people, mostly Jews, were tortured and murdered for many years under Hitler's regime.  Since then, a substantial effort has been made to turn this place of horrors into a proper memorial, which was headed up by both survivors as well as descendants of those who unfortunately spent time here.

They have done a magnificent job in allowing visitors to get a good glimpse into what life was like in the Concentration Camp.  It is a truly moving experience that people of all nationalities, religions and beliefs should experience.  It's extremely difficult to put into words what it is like to visit, but it is something that can be upsetting for many, so please be prepared for that before entering.
