The sadness of Dachau
While we were in Munich earlier this year, we took a trip out to Dachau one day. I had been before when I was a kid but didn't remember it too well. It's about a 30 minute trip from downtown Munich, and well worth the visit.
If you aren't familiar with it, Dachau was a massive Nazi concentration camp that is now a museum and sobering reminder of man's inhumanity to man. It's incredibly educational and just so sad. Everyone is quiet there, out of respect, and you can wander the grounds on a self-guided tour. It's done very well and I left with a much deeper knowledge of the entire situation.
While I mostly visited as a tourist, I did take a few photos while there. If you are ever in Munich and have the time, take the visit out to Dachau and learn about this important period in history. I think you will be glad that you did so.
