the next uploads can be very shocking ... we did visited the former concentration camp Dachau ...i was very impressed by it ...a very dark period of all people ..was surprised to see many young people visiting this horrible place too ... would be very good for some people to take a look here too ...and learn from it !!!
I have visited many of these "dark places of history" all over europe and the last one I visited always seems to be darker than the last.
I feel much respect for all the people who died in these places , they died so we could be free today.
On the gate the words ARBEIT MACHT FREI means Work gives you freedom which not true as it meant Death and not freedom.
Thanks to you Hans, you have bought us more history from your travels to help educate and/or entertain us. History is not always 'pretty' as in this place but we must never turn away and forget what those that have suffered suffered, so we can appreciate what we have today.
