I wanted to visit Dachau Concentration Camp, which is located just outside Munich. I knew we could visit on our own, but I really wanted an in-depth tour by someone with unique insight. I had read great things about InMunich Tours’ Dachau Tour <\/a>and we were not disappointed. We met our guide\u00a0Jon in Marienplatz square at 10:45am and he\u00a0led our group\u00a0to the camp via train and bus.<\/p>\n

We have visited Peace Park in Hiroshima as well as the USS Arizona Memorial\u00a0in Pearl Harbor, and Dachau had the same surreal, somber, and charged atmosphere. Walking through the gates on such a bright and sunny day, it was difficult to fathom the horrors that took place in\u00a0Dachau. There were trees and bushes and birds, where I had imagined bleak fields. Jon told us Dachau was primarily a work camp for political prisoners\u00a0that was presented as a model camp\u00a0to inspectors. It wasn’t until we walked through the torture chambers, solitary prison cells, gas chambers, and crematorium that the reality sunk in.<\/p>\n
