The photos that are on display in the museum are jarring and you don't want to believe they're real.Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18090860658064883118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309605449854592458.post-39193620261271879782014-07-24T17:59:01.891-05:002014-07-24T17:59:01.891-05:00Just thinking about the pain and suffering that ha...Just thinking about the pain and suffering that happened here tears my heart up. I think that keeping the concentration camps open to the public is a reminder to all of us to never let any of that happen again--but I think I would be crying my eyes out the entire time.Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18090860658064883118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309605449854592458.post-19409949212594765312014-07-21T20:48:58.710-05:002014-07-21T20:48:58.710-05:00I can totally feel you.

On this trip, I actually considered backing out of Dachau, but my whole family was there because my sister was too young to remember (she was age 1 when we went as a family, I went back without them in high school) so I decided to go with them for solidarity. It's interesting, the first time I went I couldn't hold a camera... the second time, I had a film camera and took two photos because the place scared me so much, and this third time I snapped a few that will last me a long while.<br /><br /><br />I don't plan to go back unless it is to take my children and educate them.Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18090860658064883118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309605449854592458.post-35028037948873248462014-07-21T20:26:28.559-05:002014-07-21T20:26:28.559-05:00Dachau is one of the places that I can clearly rem...Dachau is one of the places that I can clearly remember visiting five years ago. Its something I'm so glad I did, but I'm not sure I could ever do it again. It made my heart hurt so much.Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18090860658064883118noreply@blogger.com
