The day started with us leaving our airbnb place as quickly as possible. I think we were all ready to move on to better things. Our first destination for today was the prison camp at Dachau. This was the first concentration camp built inside of Germany and would be responsible for at least 32,000 deaths, but more likely in excess of 40,000. It is a large area with many buildings, and some of them not looking too terrible to live in. However, it was a place meant for 6,000 at a time and ended up holding five times that many people. We were able to walk through the buildings that had the rooms used as prison cells for solitary confinement. We could see the poles out back that people were tied to. The parade ground was large and open and you could almost see the lines of people forced to stand there in all types of weather. The crematorium still stands in one corner as well as the guard towers looking over the barbed wire fence. “Arbeit macht frie” still greets all those who enter. It stands as a memorial to the evil man is capable of, as well as a reminder of what we must always be vigilant for in order to prevent similar types of atrocities.
